So I'm trying to make a new computer (First build) and I'm not sure which slot I should put the ram in to. I have the manual, but I'm confused. Thanks!

If you have 2 sticks of RAM, you'll start from the slot closest to the 24-pin and put one in that slot, skip a slot, and then the second RAM stick will go in the third slot. If you only have 1 stick of RAM then it will go in the third slot from the 24-pin

With one stick anyone of them would work. You can put it in the 4th from the left to if you need more cooler clearance. If you have 2 sticks put in the 2nd and 4th or the 1st and 3rd.

Id recommend getting 2 sticks to get dual channel memory.

Manual states that you need to populate Slot A2 first, so no any of them will not work or at the very least is less likely to work.
