Ok, i've been a member for a while, had a few useful things answered on here, finally got round to ordering my first build.
Specs are as follows
ASUS A8N32-SLN.
AMD 4200X2
Artic Cooling 64 pro (hope it fits)
300gb Maxtor SATA
Sapphire ATI X850
1gb crutial unbuffered ram
Optical and Floppy drive
Power Suppy and Thermaltake Tsunami Case
Should be arriving tomorrow, and i'm confident i can put it all together, only thing i'm shaking over is installing my fairly expensive processor. I'm so worried about breaking pins. I have a fairly steady hand. Just wondering if anybody has any advice, I.E-- should i look at it from above and lower it with two fingers. Should i look at the pins from the side with my eyes at the same height!?!?! Attach one side two a piece of string and lower and raise it until it slots in nicely?
Any advice would be great, I expect i'm over bothering with horror stories. But if anyone would like to give a few tips it would be good. Thanks
