Almost done with my build. Anything else?

I think I'm pretty much nearly done. All that's left is screwing the PSU in place and putting the case covers back in. Hope the wires won't get in the way.

 

Do I need anything else?

I'm also thinking of putting a piece of tape underneath to keep the cables in place and not sticking out. Is that okay? Any issue?

Here's the back. I tried my best to organize those cables. I don't wanna bother with those zip ties if I don't have to. But I do have two straps, easier to use.

Any issue with those wires touching the back of the board?

Also, my case doesn't have a top cover, for some reason. Can I just put piece of paper there to prevent dust? I don't have top case fans, anyway.

Can I just plug the power cable in and see if it works or not? Or do I have to connect it to a monitor first? Those case fans aren't firm, so I'm kinda worried. Hope nothing else goes wrong.

Looks good to me. No need to tape the cables or anything, that's normal. You do better cable management than me. The top doesn't really matter perhaps ask the company for a filter to slap on there, no need for cardboard. Plug it in and tell me if it works! :)

 

Thanks! I'm not sure if the company will be that generous, lol. I want to tape the GPU cables because I'm gonna put some decorations inside the case, so I want less cables sticking out as possible. :P Just plug the power cable in?

Yes, they are. I swear they don't have virus or anything, lol. I use links so it's easier and faster for the page to load.

I'm waiting in suspense here, are you gonna plug it in and see if it works?

Bad news: it didn't work. No power light, no fans, nothing. Not a single noise. 

Even tried pressing the power button on the case. Nothing. Uh oh.

Did you flip on the power switch on the back of the power supply?

Of course, lol. XD

@BlueScope819

It works now! https://ibb.co/Jq22K1M

 

Not sure what the reason is, but I flip the power switch back and forth while pressing down the power button, and now it's on. XD

 

I have some concerns, though. 

- Why is the Cpu cooler's light not on? Is it supposed to be on by default or until I use a software?

- I thought that Msi logo on the top left was supposed to light up?

- Ram sticks are also not on either. What's wrong?

- GPU's fans are not running.

Well done. Sorry I did not see that you tagged me there until now. 

No worry. I edited my post so that's why you didn't get a notification.

GPU fans are running again. I was shocked when my finger touched the fans because I didn't expect it to run. Well, I guess it's nothing to worry about.

I also reinserted my RAM and they are on now. The only thing left that's not lit up is the CPU cooler. I'm gonna try using MSI ML to see if I can get it to work.

 

I'm installing the updates. It's 90% done at this point. I'll post questions if I run into anymore issues. (Hope I don't!)

 

I can't wait to post my rig up tonight!

Thanks for you help! Really appreciated it!
