Hello, i am buying my parts to build my pc tomorrow. I am very nervous about building, and to make sure there aren't any incompatibilities (including the cablemod) I came here. Any tips for a first builder (like myself) is appreciated. I also am going to link my pcpp list below, any suggetions on that as well is appreciated. Thanks!
