I also want to buy a Nvidia GeForce 9600GT too from tigerdirect.com, but will they work over here in Ireland?

as long as you plugged them to the right socket, given the right voltage of electricity, everything will work fine. just make sure that they can deliver to your country.

put dem in d right place and supply d right amount of power n everything will b fine

So long as you don't use 110V on your power supply, it's not an issue at all. Computers are of an international design. Whether or not tigerdirect will ship to you is another matter.

When looking at specifics on what processor, and graphics card you can use in your computer, there are many system support issues to look at. (Computer system. Will your motherboard support,(use), the processor and graphics card) The only issue that would have to be looked at, in using a computer from country to country,(i.e., America to Ireland), is the power supply. I believe Ireland uses 220 volts for their electricity in homes. America uses 110 volts. All a person has to do is to make sure the slide switch on the back of the power supply shows the voltage used in that particular country. If you are in Ireland, and Ireland uses 220 volts, make sure your power supply voltage switch on the back shows 220 volts. The power supply itself will change the 220 volts to the needed voltages for the motherboard of your computer. The motherboard will supply the correct voltages for the hardware components, placed on it. The voltage that comes into the power supply is AC,(Alternating Current). The voltage that comes out of the power supply has been converted to DC,(Direct Current). The voltages are always 3.3 volts, 5 volts, and 12 volts,(DC for all.) Some computers still use the 3.3 volts, some do not. As a general rule, the newer ones do not. So, to sum up. As long as the slide switch on the back of your power supply, is set to the correct voltage for your country,(And I'm sure it is), and your motherboard has support for the Pentium Dual Core, plus a PCI-Express x16 slot for the Nvidia GeForce 9600GT, and your power supply meets the minimum power requirements for the 9600GT graphics card,(The power requirements are stated on Tigerdirects page for the 9600GT. It's about two-thirds the way down the page), you're good to go! Edit: I looked. Tigerdirect ships to Ireland.

All of the computer parts will work in your computer. The power supply in your computer does the work of converting the voltages/wattage's etc into a standardized format for computer makers, so that the companies know for sure that they don't have to make special parts for one part of the world or another. It is exactly neither more or less complicated than that.
