What device should be uninstalled before you proceed with the entire installation, to protect from damage...?

Question

what device (of those listed below) should be uninstalled before proceeding with the complete installation of a motherboard and assembly of the computer, to protect from damage...?

Power Supply/Monitor/Motherboard/Video Card/Processor/Ram

these are the minimum items needed to perform POST.

I would remove the RAM before putting everything together and make that the last thing installed. I'm not sure if this is correct or not.

Answer 1

You should remove ALL the items you listed.

Answer 2

If I am reading it correctly (quite hard to understand) you want to know which items to remove from their anti-static bags etc first?

Motherboard / Processor / Video Card / RAM / Power Supply / Monitor

Although you could really remove them all as long as you are careful (using anti-static wristband, etc).
