17) Install the Video Card


17) Install the Video Card
We're almost done! The last component—and, because this is a gaming system, arguably the most important of all—is the video card. Because the EVGA GTX 580 we chose is a big one, we'll need to open up two adjacent expansion slots to accommodate it. We recommend the second and the third, both because they're


13) Replace the SSD and Hard Drive Trays
With the drives installed, it's time for the trays to back into the case. Grip the tray by the angled front ends, pushing them together (the way you did when you were removing the trays the first time), and line it up with the channel in the drive well. Then just push the tray in until it clicks. If it doesn't go in easily, you may need to press a bit harder on the posts securing the drive in the tray. If they're sticking out even just a couple of millimeters too much, the tray might not slide all the way in.

The photo here shows a view of the optical drive bay, looking down through the retention mechanism—this shows how the drive should be positioned. Once it's like this, push down on the plastic retention clip, so the poles enter the holes on the drive. Push the plastic latch back into place to lock down the drive. Give it a tug to make sure it's in correctly.

5) Install and Set Up the Power Supply
One additional thing that's nice to take care of before we install the motherboard: the power supply. Orient it with the fan facing downward (so it blows out the filtered opening in the floor of the case), then guide it into the PSU bay at the bottom of the case. The four screw holes in it should perfectly line up with openings on the rear panel of the case; secure the power supply with screws. Because our power supply is modular, we'll also need to install the cables we'll need to hook up all our components. These include a six-pin PCI Express (PCIe) cable, a SATA power cable (preferably one that terminates in three separate plugs, or more than one cable if necessary), and a four-pin Molex power cable. Everything else you need comes preconnected to the power supply.
