First things and steps before assembling.

[berianmol]

So i have been left with empty bank account and pockets. 

My whole savings for the last year gone but i am not a bit sad because i know countless gaming hours lies ahead of me. 


Here i am now waiting for a couple of days for my parts to arrive thinking what to do when i start assembling?


You can assume i am kinda noob here, and i really need this community help. 


Please provide me with your safety precautions and other suggestions for building this pc.

 

I have seen a lot of videos to build one and i was hoping if there's any thing else to know. 



I will unveil my rig with components when i assemble, so its kinda surprise.

Make sure to ground yourself before touching any components.

 

Edit: watch this video from Linus:

test cpu,motherboard,gpu,ram out of the case first to make sure they work. (use stock cpu fan as it's easier to install and uninstall)

 

if you use an aftermarket heatsink do not spread the thermal paste yourself,just apply it in the pea or line method and allow the heatsink to spread it for you.

Definately ground yourself and have a clean work environment to work in. Try to avoid working in a room with carpet floors and while you're building keep any plastic or foam in their respective boxes when you take out a new component to reduce clutter. Nothing worse than having a huge mess of boxes, foam and plastic bags everywhere.
