I have this PSU:
Quantum AC Input 230v 50Hz with 2 Sata Connector

So... it is like... how much watts? Although i disagree, will it be able to handle a gtx 750 ti?

No way to know. It should be labelled on the PSU.

BTW, that PSU brand is not in PSU tier list, so I guess it is some generic chinese product. I would recommend throwing that away, and getting a Corsair CX 430 or Seasonic eco 500.

Strange that your PSU is only listing volts. Any PSU, even ones made of crushed Chinese hopes and dreams list their wattage, not volts. Does it have a model number?

The reason for this is standard mains voltage is different worldwide, in North America it's 110v 60Hz AC, in Great Britain it's 230v 50Hz AC (As you list.)

If the supply doesn't list it's wattage anywhere, chances are it could be a fakie that might blow up in your face, turn your cat into a dog, open a portal to a parallel universe, do nothing at all, or anything except supply power.

@Murissokah Appreciate your answer but how much would that cost me in Indian Rupees?

@Saberus All i was able to find written on my PSU is listed above, i don't know if it includes model number. I have been using this PSU for 4 years now and none of the weird stuff you mentioned ever happened.

Wattage is determined by Volts multiplied by Amps.

Are you only looking at the back of the supply, where it connects to the cord? The actual ratings will be on a label on the side, so you have to open the case to look at that label.

Yes, if you value quality and want to be sure that bad power wont kill any of your components. I am using the Seasonic S12II 520 in my 2 systems, and I never ever had any problem. Check the Johnnyguru review why you are paying the extra money. Btw the Eco too is a pretty nice PSU..

Of course quality is preferred by me, but i am just 14. It's my parents money i will be spending not mine. So... Somebody mentioned a 450 watt Antec PSU for R7 260X and GTX 750 ti. Good enough for overclocking?

Antec VP too is a nice PSU. I happen to know the street price of R9 270 X, and that is around 12.5 K. I always buy my stuff from stores, you get a great deal if you know the right stores :)

But I am an nvidia fan :) I would get cooler and hassle free GPU'S, which nvidia makes.

Great? Is that a good build?
As for my budget. I assume it will be at least 30k, if i sell the iPad Air which has already been bought for me. If i don't get to sell it, i assume i will have a budget of at least 12k. I will sell the iPad Air if i want, should not face any resistance (hopefully).
Are you from India? Where?

I am from Kolkata :), and I spend a lot of time in Europe for my work :). yes, that is a pretty good build, That CPU can max out most games with the help of a right card. If you have 30K I suggest you get this combo

Corsair Carbide Spec 2 case, which is 3700/-

If you have 12 K now, Please upgrade the PSU and case and wait for more funds to upgrade the GPU. Its just not worth it to run a 20K GPU with a 500 Rs PSU.

Hold your horses. Although i said 30k, i don't think my parents would let me spend all that on computer parts. For now, recommend something more around 15k. My bad for not mentioning this before.

For 15 K I would get a r9 270X and a decent PSU. like Seasonic Eco 500W.
