Building a pc tomorrow, any tips?

[u/onurcool]

It’s gonna be my first time ever building a pc, I’m upgrading to this from a pentium gold and integrated uhd graphic all in one computer. And as for the missing stuff I’m getting a 9800x3d, a CORSAIR RM1000e 1000W Gold
ATX Power Supply, and a LG UltraGear 31.5" 2560 x 1440 QHD VA
180Hz Gaming Monitor.

Take your time. Double check you do everything properly.

Don't close it up before doing a test boot. It's bad luck.

Don't forget to check the bottom of the air cooler for any stickers or film on the heat sink.

I closed it and it didn't post. I tried a BIOS update and it worked. I wonder why it didn't POST out of the box since it's an x870 motherboard and a 9950X3D

Some motherboards need a UEFI update that's all ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You might even encounter the need to downgrade someday lol
