hey building a desktop from the ground up for the first time, any huge donts?
>posting memetron
you have to go back
Don't buy AMD ever, its garbage for poorfags.
>>55169600
didn't. have a 6600k ready to put in,should i worry about standoffs shorting the mobo?
>>55169631
Standoffs are literally there to keep you from shorting it.
>>55169752
alright,really dumb question but you cant short the mobo while its in its antistatic bag right?
>>55169917
You can't short shit period. Seriously this is a meme perpetuated by those wristband companies to sell their bullshit. PC components haven't been vulnerable to static discharges since like the early 90s.
1). There are huge capacitor banks on almost every circuit.
2). Microprocessors are extremely durable now and can run at extremely high voltages and temperatures and even though they're insulated... even a 1000 volt static jolt directly onto a cpu pin won't damage it at all.

alright really appreciate you helping out have a good one
>>55169548
have you bought the parts yet
>>55169968
Meh not true I fucked up my stand offs 5 years ago when trying to build my first and I shorted the mobo, it's dead
>>55170914
mobo was prob DOA
>>55170914
That's because you're a retard and installed them wrong.
>>55170947
Yes I know, that's what I just said
Don't cheap out on the PSU, get seasonic.
>>55169548
Don't use any case apart from this one.
Shit, ive always used standoffs, but ive never shorted shit. I have always put my computer together on carpet, and sock. Not purposely. But this most recent one I build while laying on carpet and all the parts were out. Nothing happened.
>>55170914
i said short by static discharge not fucking contact with your case by running current through it.
>>55169917
>>55169968
this, my PC is on carpet and I wear socks every time I work on it, I've never had a static discharge problem.
