Hey guys i just built my first pc and these are the components:

Corsair Carbide Series 300R Windowed Black ATX Mid
ASUS VX238H Black 23" 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LE
ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit
Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Qu
SeaSonic X-SERIES X-1050 1050W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI
ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB
ADATA Premier Pro SP900 ASP900S3-128GM-C 2.5" 128G
Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK 140mm UFB (Updraft Floating
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR
Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB

MY SSD IS ON TOP AND MY HDD IS ON THE BOTTOM
My cases fans are spread out and plugged into various CHA fans (they are 3 pin but plugged into 4 pins on motherboard) does the order matter?
I have a few questions

1) is my pc safe to start
2) from the bios how how many fans can i control? i have two phanteks fans connected into a splitter connected into the OPT from the MB and not CPU FAN
3)is there way to make sure everything is working and turned on properly from the bios? ( like my 2 ripjaws/hdd/SDD
4)do i plug in into the monitor with a HDMI cable linked into the DVI of the GPU to use my PC but which one top or bottom DVI of GPU?
5)if i plug a vga into the monitor and into the motherboard should the display work?
6) the seasonic's fan is facing downwards but i have a removable screen so dust does not come in... which was is the most recommanded way to stations my PC (ex. on floor, desk, books, seasonic facing the floor)
i have hardwood floors
Pics are displayed here:

also my phanteks fans are grinding aganist the wall of my transparent case that has holes on it's side is that an issue?

my last questions is also what is the best position for the switches on the LGA 1150 ASUS MB... not for overclocking just yet but to optimize my gaming experience
all help is greatly appreciated and thanked!!!

i will be connecting a Blu ray asus dvd reader and writer by wends to start DL"ing my OS (windows 64 bit professional)

1) yes
2) depends on the motherboard but i suspect it will control the number of fans you have headers for. that's not guarenteed mind you, but generally the case.
3) the bios will tell you what you have plugged into the motherboard IF the device works at all... but it won't tell you if the device works perfectly.
4) doesn't matter.
5) not unless the gpu is pulled out of the computer. the bios will automatically detect the gpu and default to the gpu as the "video" providing unit. and will ignore devices plugged into the motherboard.
6) yes. your psu should be fan down.

~ I don't understand what you're asking about, perhaps you can describe the issue with the fans again with different words. the picture you're drawing in my head is impossible so you'll need to rephrase.

~you'll have to tell me what position those switches are in now, and what switches they are.

the phanteks fans are forcing the transparent side(the case that slides and closes the comp, with the holes on it ) out... the slide does close but it pops out barely but if you are looking at the pc from a downward view u can tell somehting is pushing this side alittle bit out does that matter? doesn't seem like anything can get in thru the cracks thou...

there is a EPU switch which either remains on the left or the right(it is on the left as default, it came that way.... only 1 click.... 2 possitions)
and a TPU LED switch that pushes all the way to the left then in the middle and to the right (came all the way to the left assuming that is default.... total of 2 clicks possible 3 positions


will my computer be ok if i place it on the floor (hardwood floors) seasonic power supply vent closed on the comp case... will it overheat?

what setting should i put the fans on? i will be using the comp to play games
is it good to poweroff the comp at night/day? when i'm not using it

she'll purr if your not intended to oc her him what ever.
A sturdy heatsinc fan and rear fan will do fine. if your parranoid use the psu fan for extra heat dissapation. she seems ready to go!!!
