Building PC tips?

[SamBuildsPC]

Hello, so I'm building a pc at the end of this month, (It`s my first pc build) and I'm a bit nervous to do it.

The reason for building a pc because I was going to custom build one (dinopc.com) but I got curious and put in the same specs as I would of but with a better SSD and 2TB HDD and it turns out to be cheaper.

I know the basics such as, where to install everything, but cabling, bios and installing the drivers will be an issue, I tried to find a video on YouTube about it but never saw one.

Any help and/or tips?

Cabling will depend completely on your case and PSU cables mostly.

As for bios and drivers... in BIOS just make sure your Sata ports are set in AHCI mode (nowadays that's the default value on mobos).

Once windows is installed proceed to install your mobo/chipset drivers first, followed by audio, lan, etc and then graphic drivers, after them start with antivirus and other desired software.

Better if you have downloaded all latest driver versions for your system instead of using the ones that come in the CD. Just make sure to download the right versions for your pc.
