You need a UK mains lead for your PC (the one you have looks like a US one) - just go into your nearest computer, electrical or consumer electronics store and ask for a PC power lead (commonly called a "kettle lead", although real kettle leads are actually subtly different). They should know what you are looking for. (Actually, you can get them in a supermarket these days.)

Amazon also have them, of course - search for "UK IEC C13 lead".

If your power supply has a voltage selector switch on the back (most modern ones don't - they detect the voltage automatically), make sure it's set for the UK voltage (230/240V) rather than the US one (120V).

Thanks a lot man. It will be harder done than said because believe it or not, the country I live in has nothing. Not even a computer store selling the latest gaming PC components. I will try to look as much as possible. Thanks a lot once again
