This was my first computer in 15 years and I was nervous; Fear of complications, wrong parts and broken pins. Before I installed the board and laid the parts on it, I watched a few YouTube videos on how to assemble my first computer, read the good instructions that came with this motherboard, and took my time. When I assembled it and plugged it into a monitor and wall without incident, it worked! In my attached photo you can see the motherboard in a very nice NXZT 510 case (which I really liked). I got good advice and used pcpartpicker.com which picks cases, motherboards, processors, coolers and graphics cards; anything to make sure they are compatible and fit in the case (non-trivial). I would recommend that you install the graphics card after everything else as I had to install the SSD drive card where the graphics card was. My only complaint was the lack of a USB header (a connector on the board) for a Type-C connection to the front panel. body connector. When I asked ASRock for help, after I had to email everything I needed, I got the answer that the board doesn't have the right header port. I finally solved this problem with a board conversion insert I found without ASRock's help. This was pretty trivial to me, but with the fast pace of change in computer accessory ports, it's likely that others will want a USB Type-C port on the front of their computer. Aesthetically, I thought all the little LEDs that blink, the motherboard is silly but cute, and I could end up turning into a geek who loves all the lights. I like the full size of this motherboard, it allows you to install a graphics card (or larger CPU coolers) and allows someone like me with fat fingers to insert fan headers without breaking any components.
