    Should i change the power on my Computer?

    I build my computer, and the power was set on 115V.
    I have added Graphic Cards, Sound Cards, a few fans and all this other stuff.

    Should i switch it to 130V now since i have many things in my computer?, Also would this make my computer perform better? Even on BF2?

      What if its with 130v? Would there be any problems?

      Or just leave it to the 115v.

          It's not the volts that make it better it is the Amps that the power supply puts out that will help.
          If your country uses 110 volts then leave it on that.
          If you have lots of stuff useing power on your computer then a higher amperage power supply will help make things run properly. Normally a 420amp or higher will do the trick. If you have a few hard drives and a big graphics card then go a bit higher.

              Yes, leave it. The voltage setting on the PSU should be set to what your electricity supply provides. So you shouldn't be changing it.

                Your PSU would blow up basically probably taking out you Motherboard aswell

                    That switch is for the INPUT voltage go'n into the PSU do not change it or bad things will happen.
