Hi. I'm building a new computer. I have the monitor and PSU already.

Purposes: 1080p gaming, photoshopping, video editing, rendering and programming.

The Build:
CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite
GPU: MSI RX 6650 XT 2X MECH
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RS RGB 2x8GB 3600 MHz DDR4
SSD: Kingston NV2 1TB
Case: Lian-Li Lancool 215
PSU: Gigabyte P650B 650W 80+ Bronze(Already have that one)

Is everything compatible? Is it hard to build parts together for someone who haven't done building a PC before.

Afaik, first connect CPU, RAM and SSD to motherboard and place it in case then plug GPU and PSU. Open the other side of case for cable management and plug all required cables into the system.

I don't know how to do front panel connections.

I also cannot decide between two cases. Lancool 215 or H510 Flow.

Outside of that, the build is pretty much spot on.

I don't know how to do front panel connections.
Want to know a little secret? The troubleshooting guide here, is actually a guide on how to build your PC, in disguise :p

YT is your friend on this one;

SSD: Kingston NV2 1TB

If the drive is going to be brand new, then you will need to install the OS. If it's a carry over from a prior system, you will need to reinstall the OS. Make sure you're created your bootable USB installer using Windows Media Creation Tools(regardless of Windows 10 or 11).

Ram goes into slots A2 and B2 or as your motherboard manual suggests.

One idea I had, would be to perhaps use this thread as a build log of sorts, to help show off your complete build. ;)
