What is my next step in System Assembly?

[davidnavratil]

Absolute Newbie Dave here - I've got all my parts in for my 1st system build which consists of!

MB - ASRock FM2A88m Extreme 4+
CPU - AMD A8-6500
Case - ThermalTake Core V41
Ram - 2 X 8gb Kingston 1866
PS - EVGA Super Nova NEX 860W
Storage - 120 GB Crucial SSD
No Video Card, Hard Drive or Opitical Drive

I have installed the 2 pcs of Ram and I also have installed the CPU and Fan onto the MB.
My questions is should i install the power supply 1st into the case or should I install the Motherboard 1st? The Case is very large and roomy, I've removed the HD cages since I will put the SSD on the backside of the MB plate out of sight!! Any Help is really appreaciated!! Tks DN

The order in which you install parts depends on the case. I would do the motherboard. Test fit first, make sure all the standoffs are where they should be and remove any extras.

I have done exactly that, I removed all the extra standoffs and all holes line up perfectly with MB! I did have trouble connecting the CPU fan to the motherboard earlier. I had problems with the clips attaching right. It hard to work with when you have thermal paste on the heat sink!! Hope I have it secured right!! - Tks, DN
