Buying PC parts from "Multiple" different countries? Will they work together?

[That_Tech_Guy_Again]

First of all, a "few" facts about my current predicament. I am from australia, and in australia we use the 230 OR 240 Voltage system (some sources say 230 some say 240 some say both?) running at 50hz. So here is the question everyone. I am looking to build my first PC, and i have found all the parts i need, however, some of those parts are from other countries, "multiple different countries" actually, so i was wondering whether or not the "parts" would work together or not? Would they use the same voltage? For example say i buy a motherboard from america which uses 120 Voltage and 60hz and i got the rest of my parts from australia, would the motherboard only be capable of working on a 120V 60hz system? If i tried to start up the motherboard in australia would the motherboard be overloaded with electricity and "blow up" or worse?

And is there any useful information that anyone could share that would benefit with my research or my compatibility problem or with building my PC?

I am mostly asking this question because some monitors which i have looked at said their voltage range was from 120/240 and 50hz to 60hz, so i am unsure if i can buy parts from other countries and have them work together?
Because the worse thing that could happen is my is that the parts get destroyed and i waste lots of money.

Sorry if this sounds like i dumb question, although i know a lot about PC parts themselves, i lack certain fundamental knowledge when it comes to the "interoperability" of parts from "different" countries

No prob at all mate.

On a final note , buy windows 10 not windows 7 mate.
It's just plain better,the free upgrade path is gone now.

When you build & install windows leave the second drive DISCONNECTED physically cable wise until windows is installed on the ssd.
This is an important step - don't forget it.

Happy building mate .

Sure, but about windows 10? I heard that it has security issues like a "built in back door" or something like that?? Though i am not sure if what i heard was true or not?? Also i forgot to ask, does the ssd have TRIM?? Because i heard that ssd have some sort of progressive degradation with their memory?? And apparently TRIM removes the memory and thus prevents the degradation from occuring??

Windows 10 is far safer from a consumer level than win 7 ever was.

The tinfoil hat brigade are up in arms about the telemetric 'spying' it does , most if this is based around ms wanting it to be an all encompassing desktop & mobile platform.
It can all be disabled if it really bothers you , it shouldn't unless you're a terrorist of some sort , its no more intrusive than iOS or Google android at the end of the day - & 90% of the first worlds population owns these in one form or another & have an always on data connection.

Neither win 7/8/8.1 have dx12 capabilities - a year from now these will be a necessity for a lot of new games.

Buy win 10 now, forget about the rumours because that's all they are.

Ssd trim - automatic mate, nothing for you to worry about at all.
You should set sata to ahci mode in BIOS before installing windows

It relies on space being left on the ssd to function optimally , you should always leave 20gb or so free & never fill the drive entirely.

As always, thanks again Madmatt. When i get my parts together in the next 2-3 weeks, i will do everything as you have said. If there should be any problem with setting ok my system my build i will ask you for some help okay?
