Coarser screws for motherboard and 3,5" HDDs. finer for SSD. The manual's on the manufacturer's website: https://www.nzxt.com/products/s340-white#product-downloads (Pro tip. learn to look up stuff on manufacturers' websites. It'll save your bacon some day.)

That's for the original not the elite, I was going to suggest this too but realized that. They don't have the manual for the elite on the site yet for some reason, I guess because it is new but that's not a real excuse. I'd suggest looking for the coarser screw like Naeaes said.

Standoffs are put into the case to hold the mobo and I'd suggest lightly threading the 6-32screwflat to see if it threads into the standoff, if not use the M3*5Flat.

Lightly screw it in, threading = screwing basically, but I just looked it up and it's the 6-32screwflat on the S340.

It is very nice for your first build! Very clean looking. What do the cables look like in the back? :)

I am not going to take off the back panel as I'm sick to death of fiddling around with the thumb screws xD it's neat enough I used the clips and some cable ties but it could be improved

Awesome! It sounds like it isn't your first PC build even though it is. It looks very well built. How is it running? Meeting expectations?

Yeah it's absolutely amazing, I'm coming from a laptop that could barley get 15fps in csgo to 300fps maxed (I bought a 144hz monitor as well). I can't get over how nice all the black and white parts look together :D

Looks nice I like the white build, I'm not a fan of the red and black, white and or black builds a lot more classy.
