Just Got All Of My New Stuff!

Now for mobo instalation...My case came with 4 little gold screw things coming out of the motherboard plate...do I just align those screws with the holes in the mobo...and screw them in?

put the cpu and the hsf in the mobo first, before you fit it in the case :)

edit: the plastic things are called spacers and they sit between the actual mobo and the screws, to protect the mobo from damage
