Pretty much title. Going to build my first PC tomorrow. What are the best places to look at to make the process as easy as possible
Everything from building to it, setting up the OS all that stuff?

I watched Linus tech tips and mryeester

Same. In hindsight however, it wasn't that necessary. The most important resources are the manuals that are delivered with the parts. It just gave me a general order of steps and a few tips.

Watch out for static doesn’t happen to often but imagine if you put your parts in and zap

Don’t overthink things. Make sure you have a cleared table top to work on. A screw driver with different attachments is important too. Create a bootable flash drive with windows. Look into any bios issues with your motherboard, a bios flash might be a good idea early on into your ownership. Don’t worry too much about pretty wiring at first; get the system to boot and load and then you can open it up again and tidy up the wires. If you’re not sure how to install a component, look it up on your phone and literally follow along. Good luck!

You can avoid most of your potential issues by simply being able to read the included instructions manual with your hardware. Most people are severely allergic to reading and prefer to have random Youtubers with random hardware do the reading for them which is where confusion and mistakes tend to happen.

The best resources are the manuals. Youtube will also have plenty of videos of the whole process, but more importantly you can look up tutorials for your specific parts if they end up being tricky. I like recommending the channel ZTT, he’s got tons of super helpful videos!
