All of my parts SHOULD arrive today, I ordered all of the parts yesterday and asked for next day delivery since it's DPD i'm guessing it will arrive in the afternoon. This will be my very first time putting something together. I have read the stickied thread on how to put it together. Just asking for another more detailed guide if anyone has one.

I will be taking my hard drives / SSD & GFX Card out of old PC and putting in to new one. Everything else will be brand new.

From what I understand I follow the steps:

1) Open up case both sides.
2) Fit the PSU
2a) Fit the optical drive
3) Plug in PSU to socket, but not turn power on so I can earth myself ( as I don't have those anti-static wrist bands. )
4) Fit in the motherboard
5) Align the motherboard back ports.
6) Put in CPU then heatsink + fans etc ( AMD build )
7) RAM
8) HDD / SSD
9) GFX Card
10) Do all the connections of wires.
11) done?

any websites with instructions for top tier amateurs would be appreciated. I have an iMac that I can use for websites to look at how to do things while I put it together.
 
My order is.


1) Open the case up.
2) Fit the motherboard standoffs and the IO shield plate from the motherboard box.
3) Fit the PSU
4) Fit the drives
5) Put the CPU/RAM and cooler on the motherboard.
6) Fit this to the case and screw in.
7) Wire the front panel to the board
8) Attach the power cables and SATA data cables to the drives and the board.
9) Fit the GFX and its power cables.
10) Power ON and install OS and drivers etc.
11) Tidy the wires up.
