A motherboard would probably have been useful.

Pics would be good.
Trashed hardware and bloodied fingers make entertaining viewing.

If you do a video you're required to provided popcorn.

Edit:
I just used the Hiper PSU for my most recent build and really like it.
Voltages remain quite stable and it's very quiet.
You haven't mentioned what case you're using...be aware that those cool RCA style modular plugs take up more room than a standard PSU wiring loom (which can be folded around like Gumby) and you need to take that into account.
