hey everyone,
i just put together my system, most of it at least (didn't plug in the SSD, its outside hte case to make sure it POSTs)

i put it together on the motherboard box and the Q code 99 comes up on the VII hero which means "super IO initialisation" and then i plugged my keyboard in and it changed to B4 "USB hot plug"

on the screen it lists some of the parts, theres no beeping, all LEDs on the parts are correctly illuminated, the fans are all spinning (except the MSI fans on both the GTX 970s, they spun at ifrst but now aren't which is i understand, how the system is meant to work)

on screen it says below the part names

"please press enter to recover BIOS settings

Press F1 to run SETUP"

So, am i ready to assemble this inside my case, plug the SSD in and install windows, did i POST correctly? (i super excited :DD)
 
Solution
Just as long as it turns on and you can get in the BIOS, you can put it the case then install windows

Just make sure you put the standoffs in the case before you install the mobo
