I recently purchased the evga superernova 650 g3 gold power supply for my build, I wasn’t thinking it has come with a different country’s wall plug, I just wanted to know if this a quick fix like I can just buy a new plug to the wall or is it a lot more complicated than that

    You can buy AC power cables just about anywhere computer parts/accessories are sold..Just buy another cable with the correct wall end..The end that goes into the PSU is industry standard..Your 650 G3 (as will all other EVGA units) will auto-detect the input voltage and auto-switch to using it.

    You can also buy global adapters, although the cable itself would be a better option.

    Get one that's marked 18 AWG or lower.
     
    But don't confuse the AWG (Gauge) number and wire size..The lower the AWG number, the thicker the wire is..So a 14 AWG (thicker than 18) would be more than good..They're cheap and widely available, even some supermarkets sell them.
     
    AWG to Millimeter Conversion Calculator if you need it.
     
    Welcome to the forums, by the way.
