Hi, i bought a PSU for my rig a few months back, EVGA 650 G3 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYGFRL6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), came with a US Pin and have been using an adapter all the while.

Now my OCD starts to kick in, i wanna get it change to the UK pin instead, is there anything voltage/amp, ratings, etc. i need to look out for?

sorry in advance if this question has been asked before, just want to be cock sure. :D

What you need is already molded on the existing cord.
Just get a UK cord with 10A fuse.

For 650W PSU a cable with 5A fuse or higher will suffice.

But just use 13A cable everything, is actually safer and more convenient. Only UK plug has fuses and the appliance itself is supposed to have a fuse regardless of country of plug used. A higher fuse / cable rating means the cable can accept whatever appliance you use it with.
