That SSD looks like it might be a tight fit, will that store everything you need for it?

you should be able to fit windows on there no problem, and probably some lightweight programs as well

The hardest part for me with my first build was the front wires, other than that everything fits like an easy puzzle. Feel free to post if you have trouble and someone/I might be able to help. Other than that it looks alright. Good choice on the 4 cores

I might message you for help.. I just have trouble with the front panel connectors as well. But I have an idea of how everything's going to work :), I'll message you right now.

for a first build I'd say key points are: read the manuals, use google/youtube for anything you're unsure of, and spend time on cable management, you'll thank yourself later

Of course.. I have watched many, and I mean MANY videos on building a computer. I think the most confusing is the sata/data cables and everything.. Plus my house is all carpet so I need to continuously ground myself

you're already WAY more prepared than I was for my first build (2009) so you'll probably have no problems.  I made mistakes and it still came out fine, you got this
