Hi, guys Im kinda new to pc building and I've ordered my parts and do have general to advanced knowledge in computers but I was wondering theres any tips you guys could give for when I actually do the building. I have done my research but just in case I missed something. Thanks in advance.
Also, I take a pc hardware course at school so I dont need "dont force the plugs" or anything obvious like that.

Just remember to take your time and be gentle with it. Don't rush through it or you'll get what i had my first build (zero cable management whatsoever). WHat are the specs of the parts you got?

Don't be stupid about building and rush. Take your time and do it properly. Try to make a good effort at cable management for better airflow and aesthetics, even if your case doesn't have a window, it's still nice to have decent cable management. That's about it really.

Don't be aggressive. You could end up breaking anything like an SSD because it's in a stupid place and you were getting annoyed since you were working I the pc for 13hours...

Like what all of these guys said. If you're really uncomfortable doing it I would watch a video along the way.

Fix the cable management then
because poor cable management means less women
