hey guys this is austin and staying here with part 2 of my tutorial on how to build a gaming pc last time we prepared the case install the power supply and got the motherboard all set up the next step is to install the motherboard end of the case before doing this you need to keep in mind that there are different sizes of motherboards in each wheel mount differently on the back of the case you should see a few brass standoffs already installed grab the motherboard by the heatsink and roughly line it up with where it will be installed now look to see where the six screw holes line up compared to your case here the middle two standoffs are correct but we'll need to add four more grab your bag of screws that came with the motherboard and get the standoffs that you need you need to be sure to use the correct parts here as if you don't use standoffs the motherboard will grind itself out on the steel case not good now screw the standoffs into the holes that you know match where the motherboard goes you don't need to use any tools to do this but be sure that they're pretty tight then spend the case around as we need to install the i/o shield that came with the motherboard it's easy to put this in backwards so it's best to take a look at how the motherboard mounts before pushing it into place put the case down on side so that you have plenty of room to work gently lay it down on top of the standoffs in the position it needs to be in then adjust it back and forth until it lines up with all six standoffs as well as the i/o shield this can be tricky so take your time and make sure to lined up right then grab your screwdriver and using the screws that came with the case screw also screws into the standoffs be sure everything is lined up perfectly at this point as it's a pain to fix if it isn't once everything looks good go back and tighten each screw and the motherboard is officially installed now sit back and admire your work moving on let's install the graphics card slice the seal on the box and pop it open inside you'll see a driver CD in case badge installation guide registration card a DVI to VGA adapter a full-sized DisplayPort 2 mini DisplayPort adapter and a molex to 6-pin SATA power cable o in the graphics card itself which is slightly important on the bottom of the car you'll see the PCI connector along with a six pin power connector on the back of the card on the front are your display outs for connecting monitors on this motherboard there's only one full size PCI connector however many motherboards will have two or more generally you should install a graphics card in the topmost one and then add extra cards below that on the case you should see a few metal covers block the way just unscrew these and set the screws aside for a second you won't need the covers anymore but you might as well hang on to them you never know when they might come in handy flip the case on its side again and push down on the graphics card until it clicks into place nice and easy huh pick the case back upright and then put the two screws back in to make sure the card doesn't go anywhere once you're done you should see all the connectors poking out the back of your case voila the graphics card is installed the next step is to install the hard drive pull it out of the protective bag and you're ready to go slide it into one of the empty three and a half inch drive bays over on this side you'll see a pair of holes so just the drive until both of these line up now grab four screws and wait for it screw them in if you didn't see that one coming now it's time to toss the DVD drive in take the front panel off the case by pushing the plastic tabs backward and then pull the panel off now we're going to need to remove one of the five and a quarter inch bay covers by pressing the tabs aside until it comes out pop the front panel back on and then slide the optical drive into place just like the hard drive line it up with the screw holes and secure it with at least four screws simple as that we now have all of our parts installed so that'll be it for part two of this tutorial if you guys enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and be sure to check out the finale in part three where we finish the build up
