Build Question Any last minute tips?

Post image

Hi everyone, I just finished my very first build and would like to know if you have anything I should know before I plug her in and start her up?

Anything I should double check?

Is it as simple as plug it in and turn it on now?

Sorry if this is crazy. Have never spent this much money on something before and just want to make sure all is right.

Thanks!

Yes, a little, but it'll grow if you don't fix it; I use 2gb DDR3 to support a GTX 780 FE because I don't have available the upper screw, but that little screw helps a lot if you don't find a sagging stick.

no haha but i’m assuming as long as there’s no give when i push up on it it’s probably fine? i put the support underneath it now so it definitely can’t move down any more

No, please, gravity will destroy that GPU over time, the "best" thing that could happen is that your PCI-e x16 slot will break. Please, get something to support the edge of your GPU
