;D Thanks anyway, [USER=13235]@lilclie[/USER]!Right, [USER=3024]@rfarmer[/USER]? I think my approach was coloured by the caution advised in a few YouTube PC guides. There were mentions of anti-static equipment and statements such as, "Be very careful to insert your CPU correctly". I was apprehensive to apply force to my RAM as a result. My intuition was restrained by somebody else's advice. I have now, gladly, become familiar with how much force to apply to each part. I think I learnt better through simple trial and error; that is, intent, attempt and reflection, rather than following an expert's instructions. In subsequent builds and possibly unrelated projects, I may try going blind from the start. I have thought to learn a programming language in this way, but ironically the self-learnt style isn't championed in many places, and thus "wouldn't I be wasting so much time?" I remark to myself. I think we often become a perfectionist in this way, because it is so easy to skip ahead to crystallised pieces of knowledge and seasoned experts. What we would fail to understand is these produced guides have arrived at their current states through experience, but most importantly no guide can teach us without first encountering ourselves the relevant problems such guides tried to answer. The main takeaway for me was this continuum of confidence and doubt is mastered primarily through self-experience.
