So I'm building my first PC in May 2015 and I had a couple of questions. I'll start off saying where do I plug all the front panel buttons? Where do I plug my fans in if I don't have anymore fan headers on my motherboard? How do I use molex connectors? I think that's about it. Here the list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/harry_11/saved/23dtt6

My budget is under $900. I use rebates. I'm gaming, my games will be not so demanding so 3GB video card is needed. And I'm definietly going amd with at least the FX-6350. RAM must be 1886 Mhz. Also another thing is, a monitor, OS, and keyboard are needed. One last thing the monitor must be at least 60Hz, 1080p, led, HDMI, and if possible IPS and an optical drive that reads and writes. Sorry for long writing. ;)
