Hello, everyone. I am moving to Europe in about a month and I really want to take my gaming PC with me as the electronics prices in Europe are ridicilously expensive (2-3 times the US price). My specs are as follows -

Intel i5 4670K
Corsair H60
Asus Z97i Plus Mobo
Evga GTX 770 SC (might upgrade to 970 before I leave)
128 GB SSD
4 TB SSD
Thermaltake Smart M750 PSU

Now, I am wondering if it would be OK to just change my PSU when I get there and install a European PSU? Would other parts be safe? Should I buy a converter and if I do which converter, how to select one? I am clueless about this as I never encountered this problem before.

Any help is really preciated. Thanks, everyone.

You don't need to change anything since your psu is rated to work at 100-240 volt:

And prices in Europe are definitely not 2-3 times the US price ;-).

edit: forgot to mention, the only thing you need is a different power cable since your US cable won't plug into a 220/240 volt wall. These can vary so you should wait until you arrive and get one at the local electronic store.

thanks guys, so any wall to psu power cable will do, right? I don't need to select a specific one as I believe these are pretty much standard?

Could anyone post an Amazon link to what I need or something? Thanks.
