Hello, after relocating to a new house, you've misplaced your power cable linked to your computer. You have a 750W bronze certification power supply. I'm checking if an existing cable will work or if you need a specific one.

Most of the power cables should function, though some are thicker AWG and you might notice this by handling them. You only need them when drawing large amounts of power. For your situation, you can opt for a different cable instead.

Usually a cable from another source works, but I’m assuming you’re not from the UK. In other regions, it’s best to install a 10-amp fuse on the plug. Power needs vary globally.

Certainly, you're referring to a 13-amp power supply output for a PSU lead.

In the UK the standard is 10 amps, but most setups use a 13 amp extension lead. A 10 amp computer is usually sufficient for typical PSUs, giving extra room for monitors and other gear without overloading the circuit. Common power needs are 3 to 5 amps for monitors and under 1.2 amps for routers.

Certainly, if the initial PSU value is 13, that changes things. But when I need to run something, I follow the guidelines above. In my situation, there isn’t a direct plug-in; instead, I connect to a larger UPS.

It seems you're concerned about using too many devices on your Belkin surge protector.
