If you need an australian one then check out mwave, scorptec, ple, pccg, umart for psu's and other components.

If you buy from an Australian store it should come with an Australian plug ("Type I").

Yes. And, needless to say, don't buy a power supply from Wish or any other Chinese retailer unless it's a quality name brand (which isn't worth shipping anyway)

Most PSUs are what's known as universal input.

 

Which is suitable for worldwide use, you just need a local IEC C13 lead. From say Altronics, Jaycar or similar.

 

Double check the specs to confirm the voltage range.

 

As vong said, just buy from a local supplier. PSUs are that heavy and big, shipping costs will eat into any savings and due to current shortages I doubt you'll find some amazing deal overseas right now.

 

@mintyfreshfresh, what's your budget and preferred stores ?

About the $150-200 is best quality while not being too expensive in the 500-650W bracket for a PSU.

 

Some that I know are pretty solid choices that should be available.

 

Fractal ion+ Platinum

Seasonic Focus Gold

Corsair RMx

Be Quiet Pure Power 11

 

There are some cheaper options but I wouldn't dip below $100 spend on it for that sort of build.

 

Check the tier list to confirm and there are some here that may chip in with super specific knowledge.
