Default Do I need a particular type of kettle lead??

It's my first time building my own PC, and I'mcoming towards the end, but I'm not sure whether it's safe to use just any kettle lead with my computer...

Here's my get-up:

550w PSU (with the kettle lead connection)
8800 GTS 320MB graphics card
2gb DDR Ram

A MSI P35 Platinum motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo processor

Is it okay to just plug any kettle lead into the unit?

Or do I beed a transformer to go with it??

Just make sure you have a 13 amp fuse in the plug Voxie.
