This is my first custom made PC. I'd say it definitely all my expectations for a good not to expensive gaming PC. Being this was my first build, it was very frightening. I kept thinking I was gonna break something and since I had no money left i'd have to wait a long time to get money to replace it. When I began placing parts into the case, I started with the motherboard. I placed it in the case and aligned it to the chassis and began screwing it down. A few seconds later, I noticed I had nine "M/B Standoff". I then also realized my screws were going in right. This is where I became anxious. I took out the motherboard screwed the standoffs in and then the motherboard. I then installed the graphics card and was going to install the DVD burner. Of-course the motherboard was in the way so I had to unscrew and screw back again. My anxiety grew larger in the fear of breaking the motherboard. I was now going to place the power supply in the case when I realized, I might have to take out the motherboard again. I told my self "No! No! Not again! I'll have to find another way. Gladly, eventually I did. Finally, once the all of the components were in I brought a random monitor to give my computer a test. I plugged in the power and the monitor turned her on. Nothing happened Terrified i stood still in shock. "Did i really just waist $1200 on a failure. I checked everything over and over for 20 Minutes at least. then realized a light was flashing next to my Graphics card I read the motherboard manual and found it indicates a problem with the graphics card I then realized one of the power cables were loose. I fixed turned her on again and Blam! there it was My PC working like a charm.
