Hello all. Tomorrow I will be receiving the keyboard for my new build, at which point I will attempt to fire it up for the first time. The plan is to connect the minimum amount of components necessary. This means 1 stick of RAM (4GB), and thats about it. No GPU, no drives. It seems like a good idea to start small and work my way up, considering my lack of experience. Is this a ridiculous plan? This is my first build, and it seems like it took forever to get to this point. Any advice or insights will be greatly appreciated.
