Greetings,

I’ve been living in the U.S. for close to a year now but I will have to permanently move back to the EU.
Last year I bought multiple electronics including my pc with the EVGA Supernova G3 850w Gold PSU and my monitor (ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q).
I have checked both of these products on the manufacturer’s website and they do support the voltage of the country I’m moving back to (Hungary).
My question is, what kind of adepter do I need to buy in order to use these products? American and European outlets are different so should I just get a cheap plastic plug converter of what would be the best way to do it?
My pc is pretty high end(2080Ti, i9-9900K) so I don’t want to cheap out on something like this.
I honestly have no idea what the best procedure for this would be.

I greatly appreciate any feedback or opinion that might be provided by the community,
Thank you!

Here are the official specs on the Power supply

INPUT
Input Voltage100 - 240 VAC
AC Input10A
Input Frequency Range50 - 60 Hz
Efficiency90% (115VAC) / 92% (220VAC~240VAC) or Higher Typical


You should be good with just a different plug for it.


As far as the monitor here is all I can find
Power On: <90W
Power Saving/Off:0.5W
Voltage: 100-240V, 50/60Hz

So again I believe you should be fine assuming the power supply is on the inside, if it is external brick double check the rated voltage.
