Hey guys, so after making like a gajillion threads asking for help with many different newbie questions I finally have all the components now the most terrifying thing... assembly.
Pretty much I don't know anything... well i know where the the cpu and heatsing fan, and processor and vid card go but mainly the wiring and all the pins on the motherboard that random wires are going into is what is scary. Especially the wiring from the power button and my case, an old AeroCool Jetmaster Jr. has a front fan which i have no idea what do with or how to wire cause those wires with the wires from the power button and restart button are entangled and hooked up to the old mobo that i gotta take out.
First should i just unplug everything from the mobo and just deal with how to wire the power and stuff later? or leave it plugged in for now?
Pretty much i have an unlimited list of Q's on how to assembly anything and any tips you guys have? and why are there so many molex things? and what are male female wires?!? ?!
Case: AeroCool Jetmaster Jr.
Mobo: MSI 870-G45 ATX
CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 640
Heatsink/Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212+
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W
GPU: Zotac 1GB GTS 250
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500gb SATA2
Optical Drive: Hitachi/LG GSA-H30L
RAM: OCZ Gold DDR3-1333 Mhz
Network Adapter: Asus PCE-N13
Thermal Paste: Arctic Silver 5
Case Fans: Terminator Case fan 80mm and 12cm front-facing fan
Cables: 2-3 x SATA Power and Data Cables
Also, am I suppose to have like a lot of screws or something to mount these HDD's or optical drives? cause i have none :/ After i unistall the old mobo i guess i'll have those scews but that's about it.
Will I need more wires?
Thanks so much for all the help really, i need every last bit I can get.
