New Gaming Rig Advice..

So im putting my brother's PC together and got stuck on screwing the screws in to the standoffs, they just seem to go round and round, can't get them to lock in place and screw properly.

Do I need to connect the HDD with this connector or just the normal power and sata connectors? Save me using two cables then.
 
Ok great. Seems like this motherboard only supports one case fan as well so won't be able to plug that in or the USB3.

Might need some help on the F Panel, confuses me, is there a guide I can follow or?
 
Where it says what colour cable e.g - Power switch - Red. Is that referring to Red is the positive? It doesn't clearly say which colour cable is which. (Probably does, I'm just not understanding it).
 
Just spotted this - are you sure there isn't a molex connector attached too? Or check the other fan - that may have one if it's an older case.

I have a molex lead for the power supply but the fan can't plug in to that can it?

I have all connectors plugged in to the motherboard. Shall I try using on board graphics to see if it launches ok?
 
No I haven't, this is just starting from the SSD that was in his old PC with Windows 7. It did give me the option to start Windows normally but had no keyboard in so just started doing this repair.
 
I could do a fresh install yes but where do I find the OEM key? I'd need that wouldn't I when I do a fresh install?

Which settings in BIOS shall I change? I'll check the bios version while I'm there.
 
Nice! It's on the XMP profile, I changed that the other day when I was in the BIOS.

Says XMP - 1600

The frequency on each one says 800mhz (there is 4 sticks of 4gb)
