My Tuniq Tower will be here in two days, as I think about preparation for my first ever computer build, I am not totally sure what order to go about building in.

Is there a certain order I should follow to build my computer more successfully?

i basically follow that.
PSU first.
Then i usually do the CPU/heatsink onto the mobo outside of the case and then put the mobo in
Then memory
Then Optical drives/hard drives
Then the GPU (only cause modern ones ive found to big big and in a smaller case cna be annoying to work around.


I do cable management as i am going. So when i am putting the dvd drive in i do the dvd's cable managemnt then i dont save it all for the end or anything since i hook up as i go (even the power connectors since the PSU isnt plugged into anything)


Thats how i do it. Others will have their own methods
