I currently have an illness and have been given liquid morphine and some other stuff.
I would like to complete building my first PC so I can take my mind off all this for now. I want to build it and focus on single player gaming and creating 3D art, but I'm compromised atm.
I currently have a B360 Aorus motherboard with a i9-9900K CPU which I think I installed correctly. I added a pea drop of MX-4 thermal compound and think I correctly installed a Hyper 212 Evo cooler. I added 4x32GB of ram. I had to move the cooler fan to the other side, or I think the cooler fan would have blocked a RAM slot.
I stopped the build today at the installation of the M.2 2280 SN500 NVMe SSD. I wasn't sure what M.2 slot to install it to. There are two M.2 slots on the B360 motherboard. The top one, nearest the CPU states M2A_32G on the motherboard.
Is that the correct slot for a WD Blue 2GB SN550 M.2? I'm smacked out on morphine and need advice. If I can get this PC running, I can get my head straight. Just need a creative outlet so I can ride this out.
I know this is a strange thread. I bet I'm asking obvious questions.
The case is an ANTEC DF500 RGB. I've installed all 4 RAM sticks. I think I need to add the M.2 SSD now, then screw the motherboard to the case, then add the 3070 Ti (if it fits) and plug it all together. Not sure what to do from there.
*Found a YouTuber that has Windows 10 64 Pro licenses for $12 (I'm in the UK)**
*(Please delete that part if inappropriate. Not sure if Overclockers sell Windows.)
So I'm stuck on which slot to fit the M.2 so I can continue this build.
I haven't screwed the motherboard to the case yet. Also have a Asenno 2TB SSD.
The PSU is a used CX850M from eBay. I haven't tested it. It only has 2 of it's modular leads. One has x2 6 pin / 2 pin PCI-E connectors and the other appears to be SATA with 4 connectors.
I have 6 motherboard screws, but I know the board should have 8.
Not sure what drive to install Windows 10 yet.
(if all my components work)
But yeah, is the M2A_32G the correct slot for the SN550?
The monitor is a 98" 4K LG.
Internet connection is Virgin Gig1 Fibre via direct ethernet.
