I'm planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I'd like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It's also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

Save everything that comes in your motherboard box. Don't be the fool (me) who needs to buy m.2 screws on Amazon.

I end up saving everything from every box, haha. I still have all the cords from my modular PSUs sitting in my basement, still in their little bags

Related, don't throw away any packaging until you're done with the build. Sometimes they hide parts in non-obvious places (e.g. little recesses in the styrofoam).
