What type of ac pc power cable are suitable?
I'm using the ac pc power cable that came with the PSU and it's 2 meter long.

I wan to buy a cable 4-5 meter long, but I don't know where to find one and what type I need.

I've heard of cables overheating.

It has to be a dedicated cable I believe?
 
Thanks for the replies.

The only 4+ meter cable I could find was https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-value-atx-kettle-plug-5-meter-13a-mains-cable-rb-305-cb-045-ok.html
Being labeled a "Value" cable doesn't inspire much confidence for a £1300 PC, but then again the cable that came included with the 750w PSU might be of the same quality, and not a big deal?
I've seen some 18 AWG and IEC labeling and don't really know how relevant these labels are.
So a fused/surge protected lead should work just fine?
