Hello everyone,

I getting ready to build my first computer. I've bought all the parts and they're currently being shipped. I've watched tons of videos for the past 2 years on how to put everything together, but I can't find a clear answer on what I should put in the case first. The psu? The motherboard? What about the Fans? The link to all the parts and the case are below:

Thanks for the input all!

I would install the hard drives and PSU first. Get all the cables where you want them and cable manage how you please. then you should install your motherboard into the case. Connecting the MB and ATX12V should be easy because of the cable management that you did previously. When the mobo is in, next you can move to the CPU and its cooler, then to the RAM. Lastly, connect all the parts how you please :)

Following these steps make it easier to hide all the ugly cables.
