The PSU is the POWER SUPPLY UNIT.
Generally, it is located on the backside, top of your computer, you'll see its where the power cord goes into the machine. It is a component, just like memory, or a hard drive, and it can be removed and replaced. Sometimes the wattage can be displayed on the outside face of the power supply but 9 times out of 10 its on the inside face, which involves nothing more than popping the side off your computer and looking at the power supply at the top. This is all assuming you have a tower computer, or one of the tall ones that sit on your desk, they are the most common.
If you have a laptop, the usage should be printed on your AC Adapter that plugs into the wall.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

The PSU is located inside the computer case. The maximum wattage rating is on a sticker on the supply itself.
