Just a tip, whenever building a computer ALWAYS wear a static strap!, even just slight movement with your feet on the carpet can create enough static to blow a motherboard. Electrical Static Discharge (ESD)

An ESD shock of 30 volts can destroy a computer circuit.

An ESD shock you can feel, such as on a doorknob, has around 3,000 volts.

An ESD shock you can see carries about 20,000 volts

Just 30 volts can ruin your day.
