Looking over instructions during a NZXT BLD. Other than that, the instructions in the book were thorough enough for us to follow them without any extra questions. There were only a few times that we had to reference the YouTube video for a section - once when insetting the CPU cooling fan to ensure we had it rotated properly, and a couple of other times just to double-check that they had installed a component correctly. The build starts with the motherboard, installing the memory, CPU, and SSD (that comes with Windows 10 preinstalled on it) and then moves on to installing different components inside the PC case, like the CPU cooler, PSU and where to run all of the wires for a clean-looking build. It kept them intrigued and entertained, all while learning which parts go where, and what they do. My kids, aged 10 and 11, both liked the general theme of the book. It's a bit cheesy at times, but it's also very welcoming and approachable for first-time builders.

I won't bore you by going through each step of the book, but I will say this: The book isn't laid out like an IKEA instruction pamphlet. The instruction book, or as NZXT calls it, the Adventurer's Map for PC Building, uses those same letters and QR codes to guide you along through the build. For boxes with multiple items in them, each bag inside that box had a label with a corresponding QR code you can scan with your phone to get more information about it. We set aside the included tool kit and instruction book. Once the rather large box with all the parts and pieces arrived, we started unpacking it and setting it all out on our workstation. NZXT sent me a Streaming Plus BLD Kit with a white case. There's a complete spec sheet for each build on the respective page for each model, and you get to pick between black or white housing.
However, when you order either model as a BLD Kit, NZXT takes some money off of the price of the computer, making the
