Start with your GIGABYTE F2A68MH-H Motherboard. Place it on top of your box for assembly. Start by placing your AMD A6-7400K Radeon R5 processor into the chipset. Make sure it is lined up correctly. Use your Thermaltake heat sync and CPU fan and attach it on top of your processor.

Once you have added all of these to your motherboard, you will need to plug in your Orion 400W Power Supply into your motherboard. Place the power supply and motherboard a static mat. Add the motherboard mic that came with your case. Turn on your computer by connecting the two power button connectors. If there is a beep from the speaker you did everything correctly.

You will need to add you Western Digital 1 TB HDD to your case. Next, add you case fans. You will need to add one to the back of the case and one to the front. You want the air to come in from the front of the case and out the back. To add the front fan you will have to take the front of the case off by pressing the pins in.

Your Case and Motherboard

Add the lifters to you case and screw in the motherboard. Place the power supply in and screw that in as well. Plug your HDD into the the SATA 0 on your motherboard and into the power supply.
