The Asus ROG Strix has specified input voltage as 100V-240V. That will work in any country so long as you have the right power cord.

Does Newegg even ship to Armenia? If you order from the US Newegg, it'll probably come with a US plug.  

If it doesn't ship with Euro plug then search around local shops for a "C13 cable".

 

Corsair RM PSUs are great. 850W overkill for an RTX 3060 though.

ALL PSUs that aren't garbage can support full range voltage input.

 

If the PSU only supports 230V or has an input voltage selector switch, they should be avoided.

Well in Armenia we have delivery system, they have warehouse in US, Dubai, Germany, UK, we order in that countries, specify the location to that addresses where their warehouse is, get stuff delivered there, then via plane or ship to our hellhole)))

If they ship from the U.S., it's not going to come with an EU power cord.

You could just order the power cable separately or probably buy it from a local hardware store. The plug that goes into the power supply is standardized.

I don't think Newegg sells any PSUs with the Euro plug. They're like $5 anyways.

Unless it is super shoddy and catches on fire, I don't see how it could damage your PC. It's a power cable, so essentially just some wires and insulation.

99% of PSU's that work in the US work in the EU. And the tier list probably wouldn't put the ones that wouldn't work in both on top. Not only that but retailers won't sell hardware that won't work. If you want to be sure you can always check if it supports whatever Volt your country uses (in EU usually 220-240)

 

As for some good options that are usually not expensive: MSI AGF, Corsair RM, RMx, Bitfenix Formula Gold, Whisper M.

You would use the "CP" part number to determine that.
