And to be honest, when was the last time you needed a manual to just plug stuff in? If there's one thing that's changed over the years, it's the fact that building a PC these days is like doing Legos.

Think I can go one up on that-
I generally download manual and browse before considering purchase of MB.

Actually, I do that a lot of the time too. Some details get left behind, and vendor websites are more about showing the bling. Want to know what PCIe version those extra slots are running? Get the manual.

Nah... just a personal preference. I like reading manuals, just did not get to it yet and wanted the fast help so I can sleep, ha, ha. Posting RTFM does nothing anyway to the value of the post. I guess we are all different so whatever ...

Thank you, already learned a lot from SOME of your replies.
Anybody has anything to say on DPete27 question about SSD installation location? Any preferences? I know it will depend on other components locations.

RTFM is akin to calling someone a dumbass.

Your English is better than that of many native speakers.
I knew when I posted the link that you might be offended by an "RTFM" response, but I honestly believed that the diagram and series of four color photos with the instructions on page 35 would explain things more clearly than I was capable of doing, especially since the manufacturer's web page and user manual were all that I knew about that particular motherboard.
That looks like a great start. I appreciate that you've shown the manual for the case in that photograph.
