Ungrounded PC

Go to solution Solved by Xsilent(X),

I'm about to buildg my first PC ever.

I don't have any grounded sockets in my house (I live in EU and the building is almost 18 years old so nobody thought about grounding sockets back then).

There's no way other that tearing apart half of the house to have one grounded socket in my room.

Will using the PC ungrounded damage it?

Is there any other way to protect PC from "ungrounded problems"?

 

pc's are well build these days auto protection :) i live in the EU to with old electric wires no grounds nothing. just buy a modern power socket with protection like this type

How about: XFX Pro Series TS550W

It's 550 W but some say it's enough for i5 4690k, GTX 970 and 8 gb of ram with some room for slight OC.

It's a little bit cheaper.

Which one should I get?

Get the xfx. Great PSU.

It's always a good day if you woke up breathing.
