Hello, I need some tips about the motherboard I've recently purchased. I'm replacing my motherboard with a used one. I'm keeping my graphic card, hard drives, and processor, but I'm going to install it with some brand new memory ram cards. Can anyone tell me what I should do first?

ASUS A88XM-A AMD A88X Motherboard (used-bought motherboard)
Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H (motherboard that I'm replacing)
HyperX FURY 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model HX316C10FBK2/16 (new memory ram cards)
Fanxiang S101 1TB ATA Device (main hard drive)
Hitachi HUA723020ALA641 ATA Device (secondary hard drive)
MSI Ventus2x GeForce RTX 3060 (graphic card)
AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G (processor)
Windows 10 Pro

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You should first backup all mission critical content off of the current PC. Then power down, disconnect power connectors from the GPU, then remove the GPU, then disconnect all power and data connectors from the motherboard, including the front panel connector, the unscrew the motherboard and remove it from your case. Remove the I/O shield as well.
