Where and how should I start?

[DaemonWarrior44]

Where and how should I start? I want to test my new components and it's my first time, I need someone (no trolls, please) to help me in real time (I'm testing it outside the case). I'll appreciate your knowledge and advices very much, .
I have this:
P.S: I bought new thermal compound 'cause I ruined the pre applied one while I was unboxing the CPU (noooob).

First of all, why pair It with a pentium. 

 

Ok now that that is over, let's begin. Place your motherboard on a piece of wood that is flat and raised off your surface. Then, plug in the essential cables, in the pentium, then the ram. Connect a monitor to the mobo, and press f12 to open bios. It'll tell you your ram and stuff. If it's there then your good.

The Pentium is just for now, I plan to get an i5 or i7 unlocked. My table is made of wood, should I clean it and put the mobo on it? Or use the box, like @CatXice said? After plugging everything, how do I turn it on?

The box alone should be fine.

should be a button on the MB look in the mannual

Also, should I plug the PSU (and turn it off, obviously) to ground myself? To avoid static dangers...

@CatXice@fpo♠Flamie I've already installed CPU, CPU fan and RAM, plugged 24pin and 8pin connector, what's next?

That is normal. One of the wires/pins isn't used. I think it used to be -5V.

Good thing it is a Pentium, if he screwed up at least he didn't blow an expensive CPU.
