    Can anyone tell me if I buy a mobo and chip from the states it will work here? I'm thinking it won't because of voltage and wondering if everything else is compatible?

    Any advice much appreciated..

    Yeah they'll be fine, as you will be connecting them to your irish power supply. The components inside your PC don't use AC power at all - its all DC output from your power supply unit.

    Brilliant, that makes sense. Might go ahead and order them so.
    Thanks Stephen.

    If you are ordering stuff from the US and having it shipped here, beware - you might get shafted for import duty if customs decide to have a look at it.
