Step 1: Alright so first of all, we start by grabbing out the Motherboard, CPU, RAM, M.2 and the backplate for the CPU Cooler.
Step 2: Now that we have all of that out and ready, we install the CPU first. So I had to open the CPU socket, then install said CPU making sure the triangles in the corner line up.
Step 3: Now it was time for me to remove the M.2 heatsink cover from the motherboard, and install the M.2. Which with this case was completely toolless. After the M.2 was installed, I undid the 4 clips on the RAM sockets, and installed all 4 sticks of RAM into the Motherboard.
Step 4: Easy step now, all I had to do was remove the sticky cover from the CPU Backplate, line it up with the screws and push down against the piece. Only slightly so that it contacts with the back of the motherboard and sticks there.
Step 5: Alrighty, now it was time for me to prep and install the Power Supply. Firstly was to plug in, the 24 pin, 2 8-pin CPU power, 2 8-pin PCIE power cables, and the 1 sata power cable. Alright, next step was to turn the case around, and install the Power Supply into the back of the case.
Step 6:  I was now at the time to install the Motherboard into the case, so I grabbed the 9 necessary screws and did just that, lining the IO shield to the back of the case
Step 7: Okaly Dokaly, the next step was to install the AIO CPU cooler. Now I'm going to start by grabbing it out, making sure the fans are in the layout I was wanting (they were). Now that I was ready, I grabbed the Radiator and fans, and installed them into the top of my case, securing it with the 12 included screws. 
Step 8: It was now time to apply some Thermal Paste to the CPU, and then install CPU cooler. So that's what I did, I applied some Thermal paste in my traditional "X with dot" pattern. 
Step 9: Now one of the most tedious parts of building a PC has arrived, cable managing. So I quickly installed my fan hub into the bottom of the back of the case, by removing one of the unused SSD bays. I then started running cables, and managing exactly where I wanted each cable to go. This was an absolutely long job, probably almost 2 hours, getting ALL the cables exactly where they would look best.
Step 10: Now the time has finally arrived, to install the funnest and usually most expensive part into a PC, the Graphics Card. Now this is an easy part, but it really just ties together an entire computer. So with the Graphics Card installation, and the 2 8-pin PCIE cables plugged in, I had a completed computer.
Step 11: This step was just about turning it on, and making sure it power cycles and boots, which no issues of course.
