1. Create bootable Windows 10 drive on another PC

2. Build PC (including Windows install)

3. Flash bios if you are running into trouble (e.g. your memory does not work at full speeds)

4. Install drivers (videocard drivers mainly)

 

it's helpful to have another PC/laptop to download some driver, create the bootable USB drive, etc.

 

P.S. keep in mind this motherboard does not have a USB type C/3.2 Gen 2 header on it, meaning the USB type C port on the case will not function. You would either need to get a converter or a different board if you want that USB type C case port to work.
