All you questions have already been answered there just search.

Power supplies are one of the most underrated parts on your system. You need a higher voltage PSU if you have higher end parts in your comp, it depends. The most important thing with PSU's though is brand. You want quality, something that is guarenteed to provide a steady amount of power and won't break down. You can really F your whole system with a cheap power supply.

Power supply output is measured in watts. Voltage is the input - as in 110v is the normal household voltage in North America.

I foresee the next possible questions:

'What does a hard drive look like?'
'How do I install a new hard drive, the monitor I have is pretty thin...?'
