After spending my time just picking out parts on partpicker, researching, watching videos...
I finally now have in my possession all the components to build a PC! But before I get to unboxing all my hardwork.. I would like to know some helpful tips and suggestions for a beginner such as myself. One thing I am not 100% on is the cable plugging/management. I sort of get the grip ... Like the 24 pin cable from power supply to the 24 pin on the motherboard. But beyond that..I think I need more research just to be 100% sure. I am still a bit overwhelmed and I can't believe I'm about I do this!
