[RoryRB]

Basicaly i just built a new pc and was wondering if changing the power cable mattered since i jad an older build already on my desk witha cheap evga white lable 500w psu and im upgrading to the corsair rx750 gold rated i think and didnt want to have to pull out all the cables just to put in the new one

The cables from the PSU to the wall outlet are interchangeable, so you're fine using the old cable as long as it's not damaged.

If you bought the rx750 new, I would use the cable that came with it. If not, use the cable with the EVGA 500w, stress test the PC, and see if the cable gets warm. If it gets too warm, buy a thicker cable rated higher than 750w (preferably 1200-1500w).

I don't recall if the UK power cord that EVGA used on their shit series had a fuse or not, but do check for that.  The Corsair power cord is fused.

 

Furthermore, the Corsair power cord has thicker gauge copper and a higher flammability rating.
