Plug it in, make sure the wires arent hitting any fans, what kind of information do you want??

EDIT: Just reread your post, you mean like how to wire everything?

The only hardest part is getting the power switch and activity LEDS correct way round, this will be explained in the motherboard manual - if an LED does not work move the cable 180deg.

Wiring up the motherboard you need to connect the 24 pin ATX connector and 4 or 8 pin CPU power.

Connect the power to the GPU, this will be either 8 or 6 pin - this is different to the 4 or 8 pin cpu power connector.

DVD & HD'S are fool proof thet will use either the SATA cables or molex.

Hope the above helps.

When/if you get the parts you'll find it remarkably easier than you might think.

It's almost impossible to get it wrong (Unless you drop a beer on it or something.)

CPU, RAM and Graphics card sit directly in the motherboard. Optical Drives and Hard Drives plug in to the motherboard through obvious cables. The motherboard requires two obvious cables to power it, the Optical/Hard Drives also, then plug your fans into the motherboard.

It's really quite simple. You seem to think you're going to be manually wiring each part.
