(buy good stuff...)
 
Doesn't say anything about a sound card though.
Just google that I guess. "How to install soundcard"

BTW - ask soulzz if you have any questions about what hardware/software to get.
 
No pics -> FTL.

I also like to install the mobo first and then AS5 the processor, drop it in, and mount the cooler on it inside the case. Memory then.

IDK just personal preference I guess.
 
I like to install the CPU first, easy to get to; plus easier to put thermal paste on.
 
Everything's a whole lot easier with a motherboard tray. I had one in my Lian Li case and that was quick and painless to remove the whole tray-two thumbscrews and out comes the MB with everything attached.
 
Thanks CJ for the link. Kick ass post for a noob as myself getting ready to build my first pc. Very much appreciated.
 
sixer that tray is good to go, I tend to buy CoolMaster and the even the higher end cases don't come with that. I just bought the CoolMaster HAF and by far its my most fav. I'll get some pics post. If you water cooling its not the way to go because of all of the fans. I love the slots on the MB backplane, I routed all my wires behind the MB; thus, better airflow. Plus, its a tool free, optional top/bottom power supply mounting position, and to kick it off it comes with optional casters.
 
I'd like to see those, I'm seriously thinking about getting that case. Right now I have an NZXT Zero case which is nice, but it doesn't have a mobo tray and the spacing inside is just a little awkward around the the slot for the PSU. I had to completely remove the top fan to fit my 750W PSU in there.
