Hi,

I already have the case, fans and CPU cooler ordered, I will be ordering the MSI z170a gaming m5 in the next few days. I got turned down for financing so ill have to do this one peace at a time. But i dont understand anything at all that she is talking about on this video, she might as well be speaking klingon. Other videos are the same, way too techy for me.

So whats the best way to find out how to hook all this up when i get it? Like what happens when i move my other drives to this computer and i dont have enough power cables, do i daisy chain them, do i need more cords... im really nervious over this...

Do i,

Call a local shop and see how much they would charge, and drag all my stuff down there?
Try to find someone local via the city sponsored forum or on this forum?
Watch videos and hope everything is covered and i they dont forget anything?

I have no idea how i am going to accomplish this.. with hooking up the temp fan control and all the stuff.

Thanks

i did find this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfsmFN_IMXg

i hope he covered it all.... i ask some questions on there. I plan to use the pre applied thermal paste that comes with the cooler.

But im wondering about the dual channel on the memory, i didnt go with 2x8GB i went with 1x16GB, is that a bad thing?

I also wonder if i should pre drill a hole in the upper left corner of the inside case where the cpu power connection goes since there is not a hole there and he had to run it over the top of the cooler.
