OK, I'm going to be building my first computer in a month or two, and I'd like to get oriented with the inside of a computer and where stuff goes. Could anyone please share with me a guide? That tells you how to do stuff, where the parts go, and the stuff you'll need? Thank you, much appreciated.

Corsair has a good one with lots of pictures and reasonably detailed instructions.

The manual that comes with your board will explain everything and tell you every single little pin detail and what it does, shouldn't be to hard to build if you follow along just pay attention to the thermal paste and applying that

I would take their part selection with a grain of salt - I've never seen such a Corsair-heavy machine. That power supply is rock-solid, but I doubt you'll need Dominator RAM.

Well, the only parts that I am ordering that is Corsair is the RAM. I'm not buying the power supply or anything.

Too bad - that's the best Corsair component they used, in my opinion.

I dont direct that comment toward their great products, just their customer service. Sent them three messages and I havent got a single reply back...Â
