Question 4

What should I do after purchasing this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Recommended Purchase Order after you receive your CPU and motherboard

RAM & Power Supply:
Reason: Essential for testing your core platform immediately.

Case & Storage:
Reason: Once you know the core parts work, you can get the "home" for your build and the primary storage drive to prepare for assembly.

CPU Cooler:
Reason: You'll need this to properly assemble the PC in the case, but it's not required for the initial out-of-box POST test.

Graphics Card (GPU):
Reason: Purchase this last. It's the most expensive part and the component most likely to see price fluctuations or sales. Waiting gives you the best chance to find a deal, and it ensures you don't have an expensive part sitting around while its warranty and return period tick away.
