I need some clarification regarding the cables that I am using for my power supply. I'm a newbie when it comes to electrical terms, please bear with me.
I have the Seasonic Model: X-750 (SS-750KM3 Active PFC F3)
Link to product page: http://www.seasonicusa.com/NEW_X-series_KM3_650-750-850.htm
The cable that came along with it has a plug that looks like CEE 7/7 standard.

Problem is, I have a three pin wall socket (and also the one behind my UPS) that looks like the BS-546 style, rated for 5A. This means when I use the seasonic cable, it has only two pins going into the socket. There is no grounding and my pc cabinet is getting some current flowing through it as a result.
Also, the end of the seasonic cable that goes into the PSU says 10A while the other end is 16A, 250V~ (I need clarification on the discrepancy)
I found an old cable that has three pins and am currently using it as a temporary solution. This one has 10A mentioned on the end that goes into the PSU and 5A for the socket (Fits correctly into the UPS/wall socket and does not cause the pc cabinet to become electrified). Is this safe, or am I setting myself up for a fire hazard?
The maximum load on the +12v rail says 62A. How do these tie in together and will the old cable be enough if I were to use the pc on full load?
Can I get a converter to switch the CEE 7/7 to BS-546 like this: http://internationalconfig.com/prod_shot/30195-A.jpg
