The other thing to keep in mind is that no two builds are identical.
The other thing to keep in mind is that no two builds are identical. The order we’re going in here is based partly on preference and on the needs of our specific build. For instance, if you have a large aftermarket cooler that overhangs the RAM slots, you may need to install your memory first. Or if you're installing an AIO cooler radiator at the top of your case, you'll often need to plug in any power or fan cables up there before the cooler blocks access to the ports and headers.
