PSU has lots of components which help to convert the required PC power. Most PCs components use +3.5V, 5V, and +12V to power up the motherboard and its components. For most requirement, +12V is widely used by the most PC components.
Typical graphics card need less power compared to others. It draws power from the native PSU or Motherboard. But in some cases, graphics need lots of power compared to the typical video cards which may be higher than your processor, so tackle this situation you need an extra supplementary power supply because most typical PSU has a 500W power supply, which is not enough for power hungry graphics cards.
