A stupid mistake i made when building my first pc
Dont screw the mobo to the case itself
There have to be little screw thingy's between the mobo and the case
(I didnt know that and fucked up my mobo XD) |
LOL, thanks for the suggestion I was gonna do that.

He's talking about static electricity.
OP: All you have to do is touch metal on the chassis to ground yourself, so that you don't damage any components. Remember to read manuals when you're unsure about something.
Good luck!

Thanks, but I'm too scared to built it on my own now. I spent 1100$ to buy so I don't wanna screw up something I'm gonna go to a friend who owns a PC shop to help me out. Plus I need a mouse, keyboard, monitor & router.

Unless you treat the hardware poorly and break something, it's quite simple to put a computer together yourself, just takes a little time. Still would be good to watch your friend do it, though. Cheers.

Handle the edges of your boards and relax.
After doing this once or twice it'll be easy

don't force your processor into the socket. When your installing your Processor fan make sure its in the middle because that's the best place to put it, it will decease heat more of course.
Don't go buying refurbished stuff cuz you never know what they did to it.
Pick a case with a lot of places to but fans and have a clear side case so you can see if there's something wrong with your computer. for example if you computer is smoking. i think you should know this =P.
I hope i helped you out =P
