[SOLVED] I need some advice bout my personal build

[Tomtommi12]

Hey, so I've built some pcs in the past and know how to build a pc but in the upcoming days I'm gonna upgrade my PERSONAL pc (upgrading almost everything except gpu) instead of some other so I'm extremely stressed out for some reason that I break one of the components so I kinda want your guys advice on what I should never do when building a pc and some general advice since I just dont know anymore lmao.

Just make sure you touch something metal that is grounded like the case before touching components.

Is the Sharkoon VG-4W's case even metal? If so I can use it to ground myself?

Most cases are metal or parts of them are. You can touch the PSU unit keep the system plugged in but switched off so it is grounded.

It's made of steel does that work?

Advice on things you should never do eh? 😏 Don't let your cables get too close to fans when you're setting up, been there, broke that 😀

Besides that, I'd always suggest keeping your old parts as backup incase something doesn't quite work right. Brand new parts CAN still have issues, and things like a spare PSU lying around makes checking things out a whole lot easier.

One thing I need to do myself is stop getting giddy with new parts arriving and wanting to put it together on the fly. No use rushing and putting a pc together with no RAM etc if it risks damaging something. Wait till everythings at home, on the table ready
