That case and board are really nice (did you get the deluxe board?) Make sure all your jumpers are set.

don't worry, putting in a cpu is easier than most people think. Just line up the pins and snap it in. then put that little heat conductive stuff on and snap the heatsink fan in.

The most important thing for a first time builder: RTFM (Read the F****** Manual).

Make sure you don't mess up putting the heatsink on the CPU, I burnt one once.

GL, I built mine a couple years ago. Building comps is a lot easier than most people think.

How do I know if I did it right ?

well It may not matter because the motherboard automaticaly shuts down if the cpu gets to warm I hope
