I would like to know if my Dynex 400w PSU would be enough to power a 6300 fx processor and a 7770 graphics card. I know is a cheap power supply and im planning to upgrade, but i only want to know if my pc would be safe for a couple of months before i get the new one.
In some forums ive seen people to require the label so i found it on the web

On the red switch at the back it says its running on 115 (dont know what that is if someone can explain)
Thank you for your time

No, that's not true, OP's current PSU supports a max of 14A on the 12V rail, 19A is the minimum for a full system w/ a 7770, no overclock.

It depends a lot on quality as well. Dynex is often overspeced.

Tier 5 - Other than the units listed above for any of these brands, NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one.
