Hey guys, I'm thinking of changing my computer case and I need some advice. I'm not changing any of the internal components and I've made sure that they will all fit into the new case, so I don't need help with any compatibility issues. What do I need to do/not do to avoid messing up my system? Thanks!

Literally take EVERYTHING apart, first grounding yourself by touching a power supply that is plugged in. Make sure you completely disengage the clip on the PCI E slot where the GPU is, to avoid pulling the slot off the board. Don't pull anything too hard, and i would instal the motherboard first.

Yes but I would install the CPU and RAM into the motherboard first before installing it, because it can be a pain afterwards. Also make sure you have some Thermal paste handy so that you don't take the cooler off and realize you dont have any. Good luck!
