I have all the components for my build apart from one, the power supply. Can I install all my components before installing the psu. I will be using anti-static wristband and the case is a nzxt source 210 elite. Thanks

putting the psu in first is simpler as you have more space to manuver it into place and cablemanagement is alot easyer.

Putting the power supply in first makes sure you won't bash it against anything while installing it, really useful. The wristband however, is useless.

So static won't be an issue?

I put mine in first because cable routing is annoying when everything else is installed. It will work but idk, Id wait unless youre just that eager to get the stuff in the case ASAP.

My psu is fully modular. Will that make it easier if I install psu last

sure, but I'd put the PSU in first and route the cables.

Exactly.

 

For example I cant plug in my PSU CPU power cable because my CPU cooler would get in the way. So it depends on what components you got and where all of the conectors are located on your motherboard.
