Building a Deep Learning PC

I got the components I was expecting from Bangalore (CPU, GPU, RAM and SSD). We're chasing a product release at work this week, so I won't have time to build the PC before the weekend. Over the next couple of days, I'm going to take detailed inventory and use this to check items off, once they're consumed in the build.

I've never built a PC myself before, so I made it a point to practice installing components first.

I don't have the CPU, GPU, RAM and the SSD yet, but I've done a little dry run, trying to install the CPU cooler and the power supply on the motherboard and the motherboard in the case. So far it seems quite easy, although the CPU cooler installation scares me a little bit. And I don't want to touch the CPU until it's the actual build itself. Everything else is a breeze. The manuals are very detailed, and there's always Reddit, YouTube and Google.

I've finished all my purchases. My GPU, CPU, RAM and SSD are with a friend in Bangalore who's about to come down tomorrow. I'll probably have to time to assemble the machine next Saturday.
