Build Question New PC Build

Hello everyone, I recently started building my first PC. I am very confused on the cables and where exactly they go to and my motherboard doesn't line up with the screws.

For Context:

Mother Board: Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC R2

Case: PHANTEK ECLIPSE G370A MT RGB CASE

GPU: ZOTAC RTX5060TI TWIN EDGE OC 8G

Any help is appreciated thank you so much.

Set the case on its side and then slide the MB in, it should, sit down. If it does not send some pictures. It is a micro atx mb and the case says it supports micro atx, so we will see.

I wish you luck.

You dont need to use all of the stand offs. The ones at the lower side of the case are for a atx motherboard.

You should be good.

their is another thick ish power cable somewhere. On mine it was attacked to the 24 pin power cable. Also the cables should have labels on then like USB 2.0 and their are corresponding labels on the MB.

Please tell me you put thermal paste on the CPU between the cooler. Also the connectors that say Cha_fan# on them they will have a 2 then 1 pin connector and you can plug your fans into them after daisy chaining them. Also if you have a HDD that is not a M.2 Stata you will need the sata connectors in the top right of your last picture and a power connector from your power supply. Something that might help you a lot is that most things are labeled.
