Solution
You need a PSU, that is what will distribute power to the various parts of the PC. A UPS is optional although in areas like where I live where the power grid is unstable, a UPS can go a long way to keeping incoming voltage fluctuations in check. A UPS will not negate the need for a PSU.
While on the subject of PSU's, think of the PSU as the heart of your computer, everything depends upon it, it is not a component to cut corners on. A quality PSU will go a long way to keeping your PC functioning happily

Solution
Everyone has a PSU (Power Supply Unit); It's a part of the PC that's usually inside it (laptops have a power brick for this).
Some people buy an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) if their local power grid is unstable (voltage spikes and downtime). An UPS is an external box that has a battery so that you can shut down your PC properly if the power goes out, and it also protects the PC from voltage spikes that can be caused by lightning etc.
