However - and this is especially important considering you're from India - there are lots of cheaper budget power supplies that have a percentage of the maximum watts value reserved for 12v, and a percentage reserved for the other voltages, so for example your cheap power supply could have only 180 watts reserved for 12v and the other 120 watts reserved for 5v and 3.3v, while a modern system barely consumes more than 30-50 watts from 3.3v and 5v. With such power supplies, you can safely pick a processor and a video card that use up to 200-250 watts from 12v and the computer would be stable. There are high end 300w power supplies which produce almost all these 300 watts as 12v, and internally use very efficient dc-dc converters to convert 12v to 3.3v and 5v as needed. Sometimes the RAM sticks are powered from 12v, most often are powered from 5v or 3.3v

Some motherboard stuff (chipset, onboard audio, network), SSDs are powered from the 5v produced by the power supply. Processors, video cards, and fans in computers are powered from 12v. You also have to define what you mean by 300w ?
