It will work fine, they're all manufactured in the same place anyway.

That one person just doesn't know what they're talking about!

It can make a difference for the power supply -- there are power supplies that are 220V only for example -- but the power that comes from the PSU's connectors that gets plugged into components is always the same no matter what the input power to the PSU from the wall was. PSUs already have converted the power into a usable form for the components, which are universal.
