Hey I was wondering about something when I start my build.
When I finish, there will be discs that came with the motherboard, OS and GPU. In what order to I install these (I'm assuming in the exact order I listed them).
One more thing, when I have everything in the tower should I plug my monitor into the mother board first then install the disc that came with the GPU? Then after that, use the GPU's port?

OS first, also please note that you are advised to choose to do a full NTFS format of the HDD first to ensure a clean install of W7.

The GPU port, the system will use Windows generic video card drivers initially which will also allow you to install the MBs chipset drivers etc.

I forgot to update! I have had everything up and running for about 5 days now. Everything is running great. I had a hiccup at start up but I had a guy from work here with me to make sure I didn't mess anything up. But yeah, I'm running pretty smooth!
