Introduction
Connecting the cables from your power supply to your hardware components can be an arduous task. This guide will show you, step by step, how to connect your cables. This guide is best for custom-build PCs. Be aware of electrostatic discharge when interacting with the components of your PC. Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) bracelet to ground yourself and prevent shocking any of your PC components. You will need no other tools for this process, but cable ties may be used for organizational purposes
