So few weeks ago i made a post here saying that my PC had freezing and bluescreens issue and everyone told me that it could be the issue with the PSU so i replaced it and now I'm still getting BSODS and freezing .Today when it froze i got some kind of red artifact at the corner of my monitor, My GPU is only like 8 months old could this be the motherboard?

My specs
Core 2 quad q6600
Colourful GT1030
4GB RAM
Zeb g31 motherboard

There is hardly ever a reason not to get at least a 750 watt psu as they are cheap enough and if the extra power is not needed the unit will run cooler and last longer

The original poster has an Nvidia GT1030 and a Q6600, which are not particularly power hungry. The total system might draw 150-200w under full load to be honest. A quality 450w PSU is perfectly adequate for their system and is not going to be under much stress at all. Considering both units linked are 80+ bronze and are going to be running at about 50% of max capacity, heat is not going to be an issue.

The OP seems to be on a budget, and a quality 750w would be double the cost of something like the CV450 or MWE Bronze V2 450w. While a 750w would have its...

Unfortunately this is one junk PSU but will work with your hardware.

Should i buy circle 400w smps?

Im buying ryzen 3 2200g, a320 mobo, 2x4gb 2400mhz ram but should i buy a circle 400w smps. It costs 850 rs roughly 12.5 dollars. I know it is cheap, but is just want to know weather my pc will run fine or not and i dont have the budget to buy a good psu.

at 3:41. 12V at 14A so 168 watts on the 12V.

You replaced a garbage psu for a more garbage psu. It's not 400w but 200w at it's best.

It overheated because it only has the power to operate a 1990's system. What is happening is that the power supply is likely working at 100 percent power all the time, like driving a car 200 miles per hour all the time, it will overheat. Other than that I am not sure how 4gigs of ram still works, it does because the OS writes temp files to the drive which takes forever.
