UK Plug Type in India for PSU? Cheap Adapter?

[Mr.Stork]

I'm searching for a new PSU, and some say below them: "UK Plug Type", now I live in India. I don't think it'll fit in my power board, I need an adapter, so do I get a cheap one or is it a good idea to get a good one?

 

Also, some recommendations for PSUs under $55, would be sweet. If you want to recommend some, please do it from this site: https://mdcomputers.in/smps (I've already set the price parameter, you can always go below that).\

well, you could just connect a cable with your plug there

Would that work? I have a false 800w psu, actually like 400w, wire, would that work?

Just buy or salvage a power cord, you don't need an adapter. Most PSU's don't even come with power cords. The only thing that matters is the 120/240V (also 110/220 or 125/250, doesn't matter) switch, and most of the ones built after 2005 auto-switch anyway.

 

Standard ATX power supplies have C13 power connectors on them, which mate with a C14 cord. 

C13 socket:

 

C14 cord:

Whatever is on the other side of the cord, is what you use in your country.

I made a previous post few months ago about it, it's an Indian Brand. I don't trust it. Just tell me if 450 is too low? I was thinking maybe like this one https://mdcomputers.in/thermaltake-tr2-s-500-wat?sort=p.price&order=DESC cuz my brother was telling me, why not just take a 500 it's just 50w more... and it could help in future upgrades. Please advice.

The RAM, HDD's, GPU and CPU you've selected is easily ok with 400 watts. If you have no plans to upgrade anytime soon, 450's fine.

Thanks man, this is the answer I was looking for.(or woman judging by your image). Btw, If I do some overclocking/volting, will it be fine?

I don't usually recommend overclocking, as those tend to be edge use cases. In cooler climates, where it's easy dump excess heat into the air, you can usually get away with small amounts of overclocking. In warmer climates, the headroom for overclocking is reduced, which is why people who do extreme OC tend to use liquid cooling systems.

 

If you overclock anything, usually the power requirements increase exponentially. So if you only have 50 watts of headroom, I'd probably not risk it.
