Hello!
Well i'm about a day or so away from ordering all my parts for my new computer. I have never built a computer before, so im really excited about this. However, i am very nervous about it as well. Im nervous im going to fry a part, or the parts will arrive DOA. I purchased an anti-static wrist strap, and anti-static mat. But i just don't want anything to go wrong.
So i guess im asking; is there any advice the community can give me to make this process a little easier on my nerves?
Also, what are the chances of getting computer parts that are DOA? I mean is it like very common, common, rare. That sorta thing.
Please be as descriptive and helpful as possible.
