    The motherboard needs a bios update to be able to run the mentioned CPU.

    As @GuiltySpark_ noted, that model is a big old nope.jpg from those who use the PSU Tier List to help their PSU buying decisions. Highly recommend bookmarking the Tier List if you haven't already as it's an immensely useful resource. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

    As with any brand, it depends on the model you're talking about. Antec has some good and some very bad.

    Granted I haven't bought a PSU recently but not that long ago almost every single PSU came with a switch for the input voltage - they were designed for both, but you needed to manually switch between them.
     
    I'm sure some would accept the entire range though (Eg: 108-220V or something similar) without a switch.
     
    To the OP, the V stands for Volts - that's what input voltage your wall is using - you found out the hard way what happens when you use the wrong one.
     
    Technically there might just be a burnt fuse inside - but you have proven that you don't have the knowledge necessary to safely disassemble and potentially repair the existing PSU, so you need to recycle your current PSU and buy a new one.

    Nope, it's dead, and I wouldn't suggest opening it up and trying anything funny since you can electrocute yourself really badly since capacitors do remain charged, plus you may set the power supply on fire.
    You do need to buy a new one, they usually cost from 40-50$ for a good quality unit. Like don't buy a 15-20$ firecracker PSU, it'll just destroy your system.
