Hello, I'm from Portugal and i have some friends that are going to the US and will be bringing me some components from there (since they are a LOT cheaper).

So, I will be buying this in Portugal:

Motherboard - MB ASUS Chip Intel Z77
Dvd Reader - Samsung 22x SATA Black
HDD - Toshiba 2 TB
PSU- Coolermaster 600w


And my friends will be buying this in the US:

GPU - ASUS GTX 770 OC edition
CPU - Intel i5 3570k
SSD - Sandisk 32GB
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2x4gb)
OS - Windows 8 basic

So, do you think that if I connect all these components together, the computer will work? Thank you.

If you are going to set your power supply to accept the correct voltage output i.e.(110v or 230v) then there won't be any issues, And you are buying the power supply from your home town so absolutely no problem, as the voltage in your PC is all going to be DC

Okay, thank you for the quick response 😀. Just one more question, since I don't know much about electricity. 110v or 230v will work all the same, right?
 


Yeah all PSUs come with variable output nowadays.
Which model?
 


Cooler Master 600WATX -B600 - RS-600-ACABD3-E1
 


There have been many negative reviews about the thunder and GX series of PSUs by cooler master
I suggest you go for Corsair CX600 or CX600M
or Seasonic S12ii 620W
 


Unfortunately, Portugal doesnt have neither corsair or seasonic PSUs :/. Any other suggestions?

They sell:
-Asus
-Chieftec
-Cooler master
-Fsp
-Hp
-Intel
-Maxcube
-Oem
-Supermicro
-Trust
 


Unfortunately they don't sell nitros as well :/. What are the complaints about the cooler master? Are the problems fatal to the hardware?
 


No they aren't fatal to hardware but they are less uninterrupted and more fluctuations
 


Well, I guess I'll have to deal with that as this model is the "best" 600w one out there in PT. Thanks for your help :)
