Step 5Putting the computer components together

Putting the computer components together
You'll need to install the processor, install your RAM and plug in all of your components according to the manufacturer's instructions. Thankfully, the bulk of the wires that attach to the motherboard will only go to one spot, so it's somewhat difficult to mess it up - whatever you do, DON'T try to cram something into a spot that it 'kind-of' fits in. They should be exact fits and should slide in and click easily. Don't force anything!

Your motherboard will include a reference map that will tell you what parts go where, and also will let you know what pins relate to different things, like your on/off switch, LEDs, etc. These are important, because you'll need to modify these later.
