Is this PC Australian compatible? I am ordering all the computer parts from newegg. I know newegg doesn't ship to Australia so i use this service called www.priceusa.com.au .Australia has a different voltages and hertz so i was wondering if it's compatible. Obviously i'm going to buy a converter so that i can actually plug in the power plug to the wall socket. So my question is, is it compatible with Australia?

These are my parts -

Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813130185

You should get an active PFC power supply, such as this:

The Thermaltake isn't very good anyway.

Then you should be set.

Just did a quick search for your MB listed, and it is at MSY for 89AUD. So you are going to save how much? What is the cost for USPS shipping? Perhaps you need to really think through your strategy.

All of my products are free shipping to the U.S and then i'm going to use a website called www.priceusa.com.au to ship all the products to me which will cost shipping from America to Australia and %5 extra of all the products i'm buying.

Look, it's your money to waste as you see fit. But that MB that costs 84USD (109AUD) is available at MSY for 89AUD. So add in USPS shipping, (expensive) plus your buyer's 5%... Don't forget the hassle of Customs, the time in transit from the US... I just saved you close to 35AUD, on just one item.
