you know for the whole electricity diference and such

and if it wont work,does theres like a adapter or something like that?
 
If you have a good PSU sometimes it has a switch that allows you to change the input voltage that it works with.
 
It's on the back of the PSU (near the power plug)
 
I dont see any switch near the power plug

does monitors have the same thing?
 
Read the inputs on the PSU and monitor. They usually say 220/110V 50/60Hz. If you cannot find a switch, it may automatically do it. Remember, there are 220V outlets in the US.

Input! Input!
 
If you computer doesn't adjust the voltage. You'd probably need to get a voltage converter.

and whats a voltage converter and where I can get one?

Whatever electronics/computer stores you have over there that sells voltage converters.
