I have decided to make this a discussion than a Q&A format because I suspect myself to have several problems and informational questions
WARNING: If you cannot tolerate general ineptitude, want to add unconstructive criticism, or are impatient, avoid this thread
Information: First custom desktop. Regular updates as to progress (Day to day). Pictures/additional info at request.
Specs:
CPU - Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard - Asus Z170-E ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory - Mushkin Redline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB 6GT OC Video Card
Case - Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply - EVGA 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
So far: I have attempted to put it all together, and pray that it turned on, no dice (all components were on including fans, no beeps, no signal to monitor). I thought it had been the plastic casing around the CPU, so I removed that, put everything else on, and no dice (all components were on, no beeps, but the LED for the power button on the case was off). I have digested the plethora of new information within all the manuals, but between the two attempts, irregular troubleshooting the top results for new desktop configurations, and general misdirection, I am asking for a step by step assistance as I try to get this Desktop up and running. (Note: On my second attempt, I did use the stickied guide).
So, where to start. I've disassembled for the third time so I can go through each process as cleanly as I can to help narrow down any potential problems.
Where I am: I have installed the CPU (correctly?) into the motherboard.
Next step: I want to hear the beeps that help me identify the condition of the motherboard (that'd be a good start, right?). So that would require me to connect the PSU to the motherboard. I'd prefer to do this outside the case so as to make the pictures clearer without wires in the way.
