I use the various packing components to wedge under the corners of the case to help keep it level and stable. The fan on your power supply is an intake fan. Its job is to pull in air from outside the power supply to help keep the internal components of the power supply cool. However, if your power supply fan is pointed up into the case, it will be pulling air from inside your case. That air will be warmer than the air outside of the case.
So, if your case has a vent below where the power supply will sit, you can turn the power supply so that the fan is pointing down, and the power supply will pull in the cooler air from outside the case instead. You can install those components after you mount your motherboard, but it makes the process difficult, and, depending on what case you have, it may be difficult to mount your CPU cooler after mounting your motherboard.
You can do so by placing the motherboard on top of the box that the motherboard came in and then installing the components listed above. If you have a stock Intel CPU cooler, you will need to follow a specific set of instructions to install it correctly. If you have an after market air cooler, the installation process will probably be different. This is completely fine to use, but if you prefer a different brand of thermal paste, you can clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply your own to the back of your processor.
But, you should wait until after you mount your motherboard to do so. It installs onto the back of your case. Motherboard standoffs create a buffer between your case and your motherboard.
If you were to screw your motherboard directly onto your case, you would short your motherboard and damage your system. So, before you can mount your motherboard to your case, you need to screw in the standoffs which is, then, where your motherboard will get screwed into. The standoff holes on your case are marked accordingly. If you have a micro-ATX motherboard, the diagram will tell you what holes you need to put standoffs in in order to lineup with the mounting holes on your motherboard and, the same is true if you have a standard-ATX, mini-ITX, or extended-ATX motherboard.
This rests over the hexagonal design of the standoffs and allows you to use a Phillips-Head screwdriver to screw them in.
In some instances, installing storage devices into your case requires mounting them to a bracket with screws and, at other times, the process is toolless. That will let you know where your storage devices will go. There are just a few more wires and cables that you need to plug in or connect. However, there are a lot of small cables that need to be installed in ports at the bottom of your motherboard and, once you install your graphics card, those ports will be difficult to reach.
USB headers and the HD audio header are fairly easy to identify as they are marked on the motherboard. The case wires are a bit more difficult because they are a group of tiny 1- and 2-pin cables and they must be installed in a specific way.
Your motherboard will give you a diagram that shows exactly how they should be installed, though, so as long as you follow it you should have no problems. Make sure when installing fans that the groove on the casing of the 3 or 4-pin fans slides into the bracket on the fan header on the motherboard. Your computer will now boot up! Nice work! Now that your build has powered up, you need to install your operating system.
