Power supply question.

Got a new system today. On the back it says strictly 230v only. The only power cable I have is from my old Dell which is 250v~ with a 10 amp fuse. Would this be ok, or could I damage the system? Alternatively, could I just use my PS3 cable?

The cable doesn't really do anything other than carry the current from the wall to the PSU.
10A fuse is enough for any desktop PC.
