Okay, so you have all of your components laid out on your anti static mat, which is connected to your computer chassis or case, which is connected to your anti static wrist strap. Now, if you're anything like me having all of these expensive parts spread out before you fills you with a mix of anxiety and excitement, while it's important to take precautions against static electricity and handle your components, especially your CPU with care, much of the process is a simple plug and play endeavor. Let's begin by removing the side panels from the computer case you have selected.
