First time PC builder help

Ok so basically I am 13 years old and I am building my first PC (1070ti, core i5 7500, 16gb ram, ATX build) and the parts I ordered are coming at different times. Everything has arrived except my ram sticks. I am very eager to build this pc and I know that installing your ram is one of the first steps when building your pc. What  I was wondering is if there is anything I can do now and then install my ram sticks later or is it necessary for me to do everything in a certain order. I would also gratefully accept any other tips! :)


Build:

CPU - intel core i5-7500 LGA1151 (Using stock cooler)

Motherboard - Motherboard - Gigabyte z270p D3

Ram - Patriot 16gb DDR4

Graphics Card - Zotac 1070 ti

Hard Drive - WD Blue 1tb

SSD - Kingston 120 gb

Power Supply - EVGA 600B

As long as you put in the cpu, cpu cooler, and ram outside of the case, it doesn't really matter the order, especially since you are using the stock cooler which means there will be no clearance issues 

PC: CPU: i5-9600k - CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 - GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 - Motherboard: ASRock - Z370 Extreme4 - RAM: Team - T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB DDR4-3000 - PSU: Corsair - TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply - Case: Thermaltake - Core G21 TG

I copy and pasted the wrong ram but when I checked my parts on pcpartpicker it said they were all compatible

you really had me worried there with the typos. That ssd isn't the best but it's cheap so nothing wrong. I'll be honest in asking, why a 7500 instead of something newer?

As much as I would enjoy going for something a little better I like to save some money and buy stuff for other people for Christmas time. And my birthday is in a couple of months anyway so I can upgrade if I want to

The RAM doesn't have to be the first thing, and no, there is not an order to put all the stuff, I would tell you how I build my Pcs but, ive only built like 5 of them, so I am not the guy to follow. But I will link a ''DIY'' which is terrible, but it has an article on how to prevent problems, I will link that after for you, I also know a Youtube video, but theres a lot of those, just look for pc building guide 2018 and a lot of guides will show up. I will link my favorites ones though. I recommend you get help from anyone that has some experience, because when its your first build, it can get hard, or frustrating. Good Luck!

returning the mobo and CPU for a 2600 and pro4 mobo will save you abit of money while performing much better.
