Is your PSU outdated?

Check before you say yes, buying new PSU for me—I don’t live in the USA, and PC parts are really cheap. A new Evga Bronze 400W is only 70 dollars.
Also, can I overclock my Corsair Vx450 to 1200 to 1.3V and reach around 3.7GHz? No issues with this PSU, thanks.

If it's in good condition, overclocking only slightly increases power needs.

I haven't tried overclocking before, but it's functioning properly today. I don't have funds for a new PSU. The prices are really steep these days, especially in my country.

the maximum load will rise by just 30 to 40 watts at most...

Not having the build specifications like video card makes it hard to respond properly. Power-hungry cards such as RTX and GTX will consume a lot of energy: the GTX 770 uses 225 watts, the GTX 970 uses 145 watts, and my RTX 2070 Super draws 215 watts.
