Do some people really put together a PC without watching a how to video? I mean, even that infamous Verge (or was it Vox) video put the paste on the actual CPU and not the socket. 

Here is a legit copy paste of an email I got, this person went on to refuse help and build the PC themselves, it went in the bin along with the 1070ti that was with it. That was a few years ago also when the 10 series was new

Hello ----------

I was hoping when you have free time to see the items I have, possibly see if they are compatible with each other. Apart from the graphics care and intel core I was also wondering if I am missing anything towards the building of the actual computer Whether it’s adhesive or wires. Anything that I would have left out if it isn’t there. 

 

 Thank you

Where do the alarm bells start ringing for you in that email? Also... I hope you have not bought any glue for your build.

The instant he said "graphics care". People that are too stupid/careless to use proper grammar are too stupid/careless to build a PC. Also, adhesive? Glue + Heat + Electricity does not mix. I could have told you that fifteen years ago when I knew jack squat about building a PC. 

BTW I have no idea how to hook up my SSD to my board. And I have no idea how to mount my board to my case. I'll be watching videos and googling it in the week before my parts arrive. Any tips on that?
