Im buying parts for my first PC build and im worried about having lots of problems with wiring the power supply to everything needed on the motherboard. I know all my parts are compatable but i was wondering if anyone knows how i can be sure im doing it right when that comes.
 
Solution
It is fairly simple. The motherboard will have an instruction book with clear diagrams and instructions, well all i have had so far have.
The motherboard has all the pins, plugs and sockets clearly labelled too.
For the first build though it might be better to have someone who knows what they are doing helping you.
There are a few rookie mistakes that can be made.Here are a couple of links for you to look at:)

As long as the PSU is big enough to power the hardware (the wattage rating) then it will all work fine. Best way is to install the PSU first in the case, then install HDD's and DVD drives ect. Then fit the CPU, heatsink and ram on the motherboard before fitting it in the case (makes life easier in the long run and take care when mounting the CPU). Use good cable management and plug all the relevant leads from the case, HDD's ect then plug the power leads into the motherboard and hardware. The PSU will come with all the required plugs and adapters as will the GPU.

It all fits together like a puzzle, making it almost impossible to plug the wrong wires in. The hardest part is wiring the on/off switch, speaker, reset, and LED lights in the front but there is a diagram that comes with the motherboard, just make sure you follow it carefully.
