I have Windows Installed already on the SSD by the guy whom I bought it from so it's a start already. Also he mentioned while packaging, he didn't wanted to try removing the SSD and the CPU from the Mobo so half work is done I guess.1 First of all you install I/o shield
2 Insert HDMI into GPU port not the motherboard
3 Every connection has it's specific connector. Any wrong connector will not fit where it is not meant to be.
4 Download newest windows iso and do fresh install. The windows will update everything automatically don't download or install driver of anything unless it is not working properly.
5 First use the PC for few days without wifi and get pciE if required.
+1. This is the way. Do not screw in that mobo atleast till all components are installed. It's much easier to install components when the mobo is outside. Experienced folks would jump the start pins to test it while it is outside the cabinet. Since OP is started, better to assemble, install mobs in the cabinet, connect all power and front panel connections and then test.I find it easier to build everything outside (I usually keep the mobo on its cardboard box and build there) and do a test run. If something is not working, it is easier to troubleshoot there, but I feel it is more of a personal preference.
Hard pass on using OS installed by someone else. I would always wipe it clean and install my own copy. Never know what malware would be lurking (intentional or unintentional). You better check with this guy what kind of thermal paste is used and how he applied.I have Windows Installed already on the SSD by the guy whom I bought it from so it's a start already.

BTW, I didn't understand what benefit of using only LAN for few days before PciE card ?
As already mentioned by @desiibond, it is really not recommended to use that. You never know the source of ISO which he used to install windows, what all is installed. I wouldn't touch that.I have Windows Installed already on the SSD by the guy whom I bought it from so it's a start already.

if you have installed the windows from a shop guy 90% chances are its outdated version cracked and with lots of garbage you do not so first put your system together than make a bootable usb with latest iso and in installing if you donot have any data on ssd then delete all ssd partition and create new partition according to your choice for windows usually 200 GB is enough.I have Windows Installed already on the SSD by the guy whom I bought it from so it's a start already.

He is not a local shop person, he is also a gamer just like me from other platform but not from my city. He ran with a Power shell script he said like the OEM keys which we usually get in hardware markets. Nonetheless, I will get the OS re-installed. Thanks for the heads up.if you have installed the windows from a shop guy 90% chances are its outdated version cracked and with lots of garbage you do not so first put your system together than make a bootable usb with latest iso and in installing if you donot have any data on ssd then delete all ssd partition and create new partition according to your choice for windows usually 200 GB is enough.
Use LAN if it is nearby to your PC because it is most stable and fast connection wifi cannot compete with it. If you need wifi for other reason you can have it
He's probably talking about massgrave scripts. It's really simple to do it yourself. I've done it for countless other friends as well. But regardless reinstall the os, and then google massgrave windows activation or massgrave.devHe is not a local shop person, he is also a gamer just like me from other platform but not from my city.

Long answer to that question @vink . First I wanted to get a Zotac Geforce 3060 from my cousin for a 1080p build within budget of 60k in total but it was an RMA card.. Later found a PC hardware server in Discord where someone was selling 3060ti for 19k with warranty till Feb 2025 only, kept that on hold thinking to go for 1440p build with little push on the budget . Many from the forum and Discord suggested that now a days games are demanding more VRAM than usual so go for a 12GB VRAM which would be best fit. So I started looking for 6700xt as equivalent cuz it has 12 GB VRAM but in second markets it was quoted as high as 18k+ and little to no warranty. Found a guy selling the same even in Olx but no warranty as well, even tried looking 7700xt but people made fun like "Do you really think to find a Current gen CPU with warranty? " . Got almost duped by a Fraud from Olx saying he owns a Computer hardware shop in Kolkata (caught him red handed when I called the Google address and they said its not them lol ).can you tell us how much you spent on each part?
Absolutely, will do.He's probably talking about massgrave scripts. It's really simple to do it yourself. I've done it for countless other friends as well. But regardless reinstall the os, and then google massgrave windows activation or massgrave.dev
Don't want to give specific instructions as it's best you learn stuff like this yourself and know that it's nothing to be afraid of.
