as long as you're not plugging it in while you're building it, it won't blow up. :/

Lol, I know. I just really don't want to damage anything. :\

[n0cturni]

Ok, so the case just arrived, and I was wondering if I should just put it all together and install the hard drive when it arrives, or just wait for the hard drive, and put it all together then.

You can, but don't test it.

Build your computer on a table, preferably large one and place your monitor, keyboard and mouse next to you too as well as being near a power supply for easy testing. I just cleared my coffee table and then tested from there, since it's right behind my chair.

What? That CPU uses a completely different socket. Also, get the 920, it is physically identical and you can OC yourself for 1/2 the price.

Didnt they tell you it wouldnt work - Dont feel like skimming through again

[n0cturni]

No, they didn't. They just said that the parts could have been chosen better.

I could've gotten 8 GB RAM for $100, handicap.
