just curious what order you put your build together. & if you feel its strange compared to other posts explain why

Mine would be
Optical drives (as there annying with MB in the way)
HDD Drives (same as above)
Screw in fans (if wanted)
insert CPU & cooler on MB outside case
RAM in outside case
PSU into case (put wires where you think they need to)
PUt in Motherboard
Put in GFX
Wire Up.
hope it boots? :D

post yours? ;)
 
Build CPU, HSF, RAM, and GFX to mobo outside the build. Hook up the new HDD and spare optical drive to load OS whilst preparing the the case. I have a spare PSU and optical drive. Run Prime etc..

Whilst that's going on:

Prepare case, install fans, rear IO shield and Optical drive and PSU. When the OS and prime tests have finished, remove GFX card, detach from PSU optical unit and HDD. Install HDD, lower Mobo into case, reinstall the GFX and reattch all connections.

Perform another test and finish any updates etc not mpleted earlier then it's all done.
 
CPU + CPU cooler (at least backplate) + memory on motherboard.

Then motherboard io-shield, motheboard standoffs, motherboard in case, CPU cooler if not done already (hydro coolers usually), front panel connectors, PSU, drives, route PSU and sata cables, install GPU, tidy up.
 
My build went like this

Optical drive
First 1TB drive
PSU
Motherboard
Ram
GFX card
Wiring
Card Reader
Second 2TB drive
