Hi guys,
As the title says I need some help checking everything is in place and I haven't forgotten to do something or done something stupid (easily possible).
I've included some photos, hopefully they are clear enough.

Have I put this in right?

This one isn't great but if someone could check it looks right I would appreciate it 

Thanks guys.

Looks good to me. Just make sure you have the connectors in the right pins for the case power on etc. (bottom right).

Thanks Killer, if there's one thing I do well it is worry. I drive everyone I know mad with it, constantly double checking everything and getting advice
I've powered it on now and everything seems to be working fine. One last question though if you don't mind Have I put the SATA cables in the right connectors on the mobo? I know some of them are Intel and others Marvell, I just want to make sure I get the best performance.
Thanks again.

Looks like a really nice clean build. I recently got an AX750 and couldnt be happier with it, so enjoy how quiet it will be! One thing miss tho... **insert big fat graphics card here**
nice build, I would like to see a shot showing the outside of the case, I love black themed systems

Thanks guys, yeah no gpu for now hence the sad face in my system specs lol. One problem I am having now is trying to access the bios, I know it sounds stupid but literally nothing happens. I have Windows 7 on a USB stick and can't get it to install as I can't change the boot order!
Any help would be appreciated.
I will post a photo of the outside soon

Finally managed to get into the bios. I used my old PS2 keyboard, legacy USB was enabled though so surely my usb keyboard should have worked? Anyway installing windows now, thanks everyone for the help.
