Will a Corsair CX600M bought from Amazon.com work in New Zealand?

I'm planning to order most of my parts from Amazon.com because of the significant savings I can get. For power supplies though, I'm a little confused. Apparently USA has 110V, whereas New Zealand has 220V.
Is there some way to convert the Corsair CX600M from 110V to 220V? I could easily buy a USA to NZ plug adapter, or get my hands on a NZ ATX cable which I can use instead.
Or should I just play it safe and buy a power supply from a New Zealand store, even though it won't be nearly as good?

Massive thanks to anyone who helps me out!

Hi -- You don't need to be concerned with the voltage, that PSU will work with all voltages bewtween 90 - 264v, you will need an inexpensive adapter for the difference in plugs unless you...
Usually you need to flip a voltage switch to use it outside the US. As far as I can tell, the CX600 doesn't have one, but I could be wrong.

Just had a look on Corsair's website, apparently the PSU has a "Universal AC input from 90v-264v". Would that be automatic, or would I have to manually do something?

for NZ.
