Question I would like to know if this US build will work in Europe ?

[VIIIJustice]

Good evening everyone! I have a question regarding the functionality of my build in Europe. I am assembling this computer in the United States (as I am here for work), but I intend to bring the components with me to Europe, and I know that the voltage levels work differently there.

Europe: The standard voltage in Europe is 230 volts with a frequency of 50 Hertz (Hz). This is known as the 230V system.

USA: In the United States the standard voltage is 120 volts with a frequency of 60 Hertz (Hz). This is known as the 120V system.

I would like to know if this build could have any kind of issue in Europe, if I should wait to buy some components, or if there should be no problems ?

Thank you. Here's the build -----> https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tgh9N6

Select a power supply with the selector on the back side, or get a different one when you get home?

Yeah probably i can wait for the PSU, but for the other components everything should work fine right?

The PSU is the only thing that matters. There are PSUs with a full range input (100-240v) that will work and the US and the EU and there are 230v only PSUs that will only work in the EU (and other regions that use the 230v grid). If you buy a full range PSU you're good to go and I even don't think 230v units are available in the US.

Basically, any PSU that's worth buying will be full range anyway, including this one.

These have been banned in Europe for over 10 years, and hardly anyone makes them anymore. I personally haven't seen one in over 20 years.

Your chosen PSU supports 230V mode.
You'll just need a proper cable to connect it to EU wall socket.
Note - in UK there are different style wall sockets.

Lol, I hadn't noticed the manual voltage switch was no longer back there. It was so much an overlooked part of a PSU that it had become pretty much invisible anyway.

I also do note in the overview that it self-switches to either voltage, apparently.
