My PSU power cord that came with the box is not compatible with my wall socket. Is it OK to use a power cord of an older PSU that is compatible with the new PSU?

it should work if your power supply is compatible with the full range of ac voltage inputs, are you in europe using an american psu or something like that?

I am in Israel ( we use a plug that all the phases come from it) the PSU uses a cord that the ground phase coming from the wall socket and not from the plug. (By the way where this plug is used? sorry for being an idiot)

Yeah I would use the old psu's cord as long as the new one is able to handle a 230v input. The one you ordered seems to include a European type socket.
