Howdy y’all. Figured I’d make my own post detailing my adventure. I’ll be updating this as I go along.
A few pics I took along the way. Me w/ all my parts n shit looking tuff. Build went okay. I ordered my mobo from amazon warehouse which is used things that amazon certifies as working. It was the only part in my build that i bought used and the part I was most afraid was going to come not working. Well my fear was true! My mobo came with noting in it! no screws, no CPU cooler mount on top or behind it, no sata cables no anything. So while i was on the phone with amazon (which btw Amazon Warehouse isn't affiliated with Amazon in anyway in case you wondering, the amazon lady made sure to tell me), my roommate called lots of pc places in the area to see if they sold this exact mobo and luckily one place had parts to potentially fix it. I bring my mobo there and he frankensteins a CPU cool mount to the board and i'm back in business. After that hassle taking up 2 hours of my life, the rest of the build went okay actually. I'm brand new to this so it was little hard trying to know where everything to got plugged in but i think i did it! I'm still missing a sata cable however so i havent been able to mount my 2TB HDD yet which kinda sucks but i downloaded some other games in the mean time. Its been a lot of fun! When I get to putting in my HDD ill take more pics of the guts and some endgame pics too! 
I apologize I didn't get any sick pics from the inside but tbh it looks kinda dull cause I turned off all the RGB lol. I swung by the PC store this morning and the dude there gave me a free sata cable to set up my HDD!!! I installed that bad boy today and yeah, rocking 2TB of storage now for all my shit. Slayed all the games I've tried so far! had around 300fps in Overwatch! So fun!
