Ok, so I live outside the us,and have ordered 2 parts from amazon,which i have listed below

Msi gaming 7 motherboard
Intel i7 4790k.
Now, I am buying the psu and gpu from my own country,which I have listed below:

Evga Geforce Gtx 770 2gb oc
Corsair CX Series 600 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply - CX600M
Now, I have heard that the motherboard can get fried on initial startup Itself,du to voltage problems.So,I have listed my country's electrical below:

Voltage is 240 AC at 50 cycles.

So can anyone tell me If my parts will be safe,as it is near impossible for me to return my parts back to the US
 
Solution
Yes you will be OK - Make sure that the PSU is rated for 110 - 220 VAC input, 50/60 HZ. Sometimes, certain PSUs will have a selector switch that must be set to the local voltage; in your case 220 VAC.

The GTX 770 needs a minimum of 600 watts for the system power supply, and you are at this minimum.

What you need to be careful are voltage sags, spikes, and surges. This depends on your local power conditions. Please read on these issues and also ask questions to the local power authorities and users. Some places have bad power and some places don't.
