I'm about to assemble my first PC build and I'd love some advice! Here's what I have so far: a PowerColor 9070 XT graphics card, a Ryzen 5 7600X3D processor, an MSI B850 Gaming Pro Wi-Fi 6E motherboard, a 2TB Samsung 990 Plus SSD, 32GB of Flare X5 DDR5 RAM, and a L60 Sama AIO cooler. Is there anything important I should keep in mind or specific steps I shouldn't overlook before starting?

Oh, and regarding the I/O shield, just so you know, that specific MSI board actually has the I/O shield integrated, which is super handy. Just did a build with it last week! Enjoy building!
One thing you'll definitely want to make sure of is that you have a power supply! It's crucial for powering everything. Also, here are some common pitfalls to avoid: make sure all the power cables are firmly plugged into your PSU and components, remove all the packaging from coolers and heat sinks, and don’t forget to install the I/O shield before securing your motherboard. Lastly, double-check the orientation of your fans and be careful with the tempered glass side panel. Good luck and have fun!
