Building my computer

Recently I proudly built my own rig. Unfortunately due to I was in a damn hurry, i didnt really took many pics. So, this isnt a complete guild to how to build a rig.
Stuff that I needed:
1. motherboard
2. ram
3. hardisk
4. dvd-rom
5. Graphics processing unit aka GPU
6. Power source unit aka psu
7. processor chip
8. casing

Firstly you would have to remove all the stuff from the boxes. Then place the motherboard on a non-static place. We are supposed to install the processor first.
The processor will have many pins behind it,be careful with it and insert it attentively into the chip area on the motherboard. Then, there would be a fan for the processor which comes with it. Thermal paste is already applied to the bottom of the fan, and we would just have to attach it on the motherboard and fix the screws behind the board. Unless in cases of overclocking[OC] there would be no need to get an additional fan.
then its time to insert your PSU into the casing. make sure ur PSU provide sufficient power [watts] and has enough cables to connect to ur
1. cpu fan on motherboard[the one with 4 holes x 2 cords that is together]
2. active motherboard power supply[the biggest one]
3. hardisk[flat type of cord]~p6
4. dvd-rom [flat type of cord]~p6
5. gpu [flat and 4 in a row type] ~p4
6. casing lights [4 in a row type] ~ p4
*not to sure bout the p4 or p6 part.

after the psu, the motherboard goes in and be sure to screw it on its elevating screwlike thin

as above is the power to the cpu fan.

this was how my table was like.

this is how to insert the ram. I simply pushed it into the slots. However, take note that if one ram is in black, the other has to be in black too. If its in orange, the other has to be in the orange too. In other words, paired colours.

this is how it looked like bfore i closed it. note that graphics cards might not be directly connectable to ur PSU, u might need to use power cable converters to change it frm P6 --> P4.

a view of my casing and position of hardisk, etc.
The front usbport switch is connected to the part labeled USB 1.
*note: make sure u connect it well, or if not ur usb devices wont work and will get shortcircuited!
specs of my comp:
intel core 2 Q9400
Galaxy GTX 260
Western digital 500gb
Asus P5Q3 motherboard
Acer P244w <3
Razer Krait
Logitech keyboard
ThermalTake m5 housing
Pioneer dvd-rom
Cooler master psu

currently running windows 7 RC.
failed an attempt to utilize windows 7600..
and hope to get ori win7 sometime in the future..

.. anyway, i'm glad i could finally build my own desktop. hehe.
