Hey Everyone,

I've heard this is a great community that is willing to help the newbies out with building their first PC.

Here is a list of what I've gathered and note that these parts were given to me by friends and family and I'm not sure if they checked compatibility. I guess my questions are as follows. Will my items fit into the listed case? Will I be able to overclock or should I stay in the recommended ranges? Is this a solid first time build? As a first time builder what should I know when finally putting it all together and what should I do first after I download my OS? I have been watching guides and getting help from other PC builders I know but most of them are kids my own age and I think a lot of the advice on here would be much more sound. My main reason for posting here is that Linus had posted a video of my case stating that there is a pin I have to remove but I am not sure what he is referring to.
