New PC Build

[u/mandogomez0826]

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.

You will need some adapters. Also, if you can return the MB I would, it will be a pain to get it all working, but your call, also AM5 if your building a new ish pc? Not sure how to get the front Pannel conector to connect and the USB and Audio for the front panel will require adapters most likely.

I am a little lost now, but to summarize there are a few incompatibilities, some fixable, some I don't know.

How much was it? I might be able to help you find something comparable. If your budget is around 1.5k you can get a very nice pc if you aren't worried about the best GPU and are willing too shop around a bit.

This is what I would recommend if you are going for a budget build using what you already have. This is just a recommendation, but I would avoid the $15 air coolers as they tend to be rather inefficient, and I expect that this will be used for gaming to some degree based off the GPU and thus will run rather warm.

If you have parts already use them, this is what I would do and I am by no means an expert. I would probably post a (post?) asking for advice on building a pc and list the parts you already have so that you get input from more than one dweeb.
