I want to purchase XPG CORE REACTOR 650W. Is it a SMPS? How can i know if it is? Also, does it have AC input or DC? 

Please respond as soon as possible.

Basically any computer psu is a switch mode power supply,  linear psu is more expensive, less efficent

AC input, as it takes wall power.

Yes, it's a SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply). Calling PC power supplies SMPS seems to be more common in India where in other countries people usually just refer to PC power supplies as "power supply" or "PSU" (Power Supply Unit). SMPS is just referring to rectifying the AC input to DC by the mosfets switching on and off rapidly.

 

It's AC input and supports 100-240VAC range voltage.

All power supplies for PCs are SMPS (switch mode power supplies).

 

All power supplies for PCs convert AC from the wall to DC for your components.
