Ok ty all parts should be here in a few hours. Ill report back my results once i've ran all the tests. Hopefully my computer will boot up since this is my first build.

Good luck, don't get static build-up.

Just don't build on carpet and touch your case often.

Once the system is up install anti-virus & anti-malware software (AVG, Avast, Malwarebytes are some examples having no charge for personal use licenses). Install any drivers that need installing. Then update Windows and everything else that needs updating. If all of that works you should be good to go. If you want you can run something like the AIDA 64 stress test overnight, but I don't believe that sort of burn in is really necessary.

 

Try to keep BIOS changes to a minimum initially. You will probably want to make sure that memory settings are correct for the kit you bought. You may need to enable various ports, e.g. LAN. Also check that the boot priority is what you want. Other than that you should be able to use the defaults for the first while. I suggest getting familiar with the machine at stock before you start to explore fan settings and core/memory timings.
