Hello!

This is my very first build for an animation computer, and I am a bit anxious about turning it on before I double check that everything is correct. I am attaching two pictures to this thread of my motherboard connections, and my harddrive and SSD. Any bits of info you can give me on SATA placements, or if anything looks glaringly incorrect that is going to fry my new mother board would be great.

Your mobo manual says that for optimal performance, the CPU should be placed in CPU 1 socket and the memory in P1 Dimm A and P1 Dimm B. Looks like you have it in CPU 2. Other than that, everything looks like it's connected properly.
