So, when building a PC the first thing you want to do is gather all of the parts you have carefully selected. This is so you can ensure that you have all the parts you are actually going to need in order to make your PC function. So once you've gathered all of your parts it would also be a good idea to make sure they are all compatable, you probably did this when ordering the parts onling but to be safe its better to double check. Now you are definite that you have all of the parts you need and they are all compitable you can get down to building the system. We are going to start with the case as its the shell all of the parts are going into
Some people tend to start building onto the motherboard first and then mounting it into the system. I dont find this to be a very viable method in some cases and some of the larger parts, for example the GPU and CPU, overlap the mounting screws and its impossible to mount the motherboard without removing these seperate parts again first. So when you have got the case opened you will want to remove all of the packets inside that will probably include the mounting screws and in some cases brackets for the hard drive. Its also important to make sure any cables and debris is cleared out of the way so the motherboard can make a smooth entrance into the case without any issues
