Very nice. It looks like your wearing anti-static strap. I think it's important to mention this or inform new builders to periodically touch the case to ground themselves and not to work on a carpeted surface. Very well done!

Well done. You didn't waste time during the video and covered the main points without being to long winded.

But man, you sure love that PSU don't you! :D
Not that you shouldn't, just found it funny. Have fun with the new system.

But I gotta ask.....

Wouldn't it have been easier to mount the PSU prior to the MB? You had to reach around the MB and cooling fan when you mounted the PSU. And if you had mounted the PSU first, you could have flipped the case 180 degrees and mounted the PSU without having to hold it in place.

Oh, and while you used your wrist strap, you never mentioned the strap or the purpose of the strap.

Like I said before. Job Well Done.

Great job on the video it may help out thousands of people.
One thing I do is install my power supply first.
Also I like to install the ram and cpu on the motherboard before installing the motherboard to the case. Just imo.
Great job.

Great Vid willetfx! This will help me quite a quite a bit as I haven't done much for building in over five years. I need a magnifying head band like you've got in the video. Thanks.
