Every motherboard is a little bit different so it's hard to give definite advice. I will first repeat again what Zingle repeated in his instructions. READ THE MANUAL..

The task is always a bit overwhelming the first time or two. The trick is to break it down into smaller 'bite size' pieces.

Track down where the data and power leads for your disks start and finish. Once you have worked that out turn your attention to the graphics card. Again, that will probably have an extra power connector. Find out what type you need and locate a spare from the PSU.

Tackle it a bit at a time and get each bit clear in your head before you actually connect anything. You'll probably find the trickiest bit is the front panel switch/LED and usb connectors. They'll probably need a torch and a magnifying glass.

Re: Help With PC Build

it will be called front panel connector in the manual. The case wires will all be clearly marked. Also look in the manual for usb set up as your case most likely has usb to wire in.

Where do you live? anyone near you possibly be able to help

That's probably a wise move. If you've never done anything like this before it's easy to make an expensive mistake.

Shame I'm in Lincolnshire. The 'pool is a bit too far a commute.

Re: Help With PC Build

Remember that just becuase there are a lot of cables, it doesnt mean that all of them need plugging in.

Should you not have done a little reading before you bought all the stuff?

Re: Help With PC Build

honestly it really should not be a problem. The case from the switches are keyed and will tie in with the front panel connector diagram in the manual. The usb will be clearly labeled as vcc + - and ground this will tie in with clearly diagrammed usb headers on the board and in the maunal. The 24 pin power and either 8 pin or 4 pin from the psu will also be clearly shown on the motherboard manual. The only other i can think of is case fans and cpu fan these also will be shown. If you can get all them sorted you should be good to fire it up

LOL.. You've been around too long m8..

If you try *really* hard to think back you might remember when you worried about which way round to put an LED connector..
