Shadequad Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I got the case, and let me just say its quite overwhelming. its the phanteks enthoo primo, and i just have a ton of little questions, like where to mount my motherboard, type of thing, ive seen like 20+ pc guides, but still worries me, i will probably be able to build it, but can u give any pointers on what are the biggest beginner mistakes? everything is compatible, just give me some quick pointers so im all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkcow Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) The motherboard is probably the scariest part but it's super easy just make sure you have your stand offs in first and then your IO plate before you place your board inside. Once it's in make sure you have a standoff in all the points possible for your board, it will help hold it in place and prevent as much bending as possible especially around the ram slots and 24 pin connector when you install those.

CorruptionX Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) http://pcpartpicker.com give us your parts list and we can give you tips. I know for a fact most enthoo cases have a fan hub on the back. You don't have to use it but it makes things look cleaner. Make sure you read the manual on the proper configuration of the fan hub they look like these http://imgur.com/E4m8wob http://imgur.com/j7AKrPb Edited December 26, 2016 by FrostByte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorruptionX Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yMwVf8 what about your powersupply? you can save like $20 if you get the non k 6700 unless you do plan on overclocking which i'd suggest you get another cooler and get nice thermal paste https://www.amazon.c.../dp/B0087X728K/ do you really want a $250 that a $70-150 will do the same thing? nzxt sells stylish and nice cases https://www.nzxt.com/categories/cases the phantek case you picked in my opinion is ugly and the best looking one (again in my opinion) is the atx evolv one http://www.phanteks....-Evolv-ATX.html which houses my current build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadequad Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 the power is an evga gold certi 80+ 650w whilst im prob overclocking, i luv the case i got, but yea the thermal ipaste i will def have to get better stuff for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
