2. Connecting Peripherals
- Monitor: Connect your monitor to the dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060) ports located at the lower rear of the PC. Use either a DisplayPort or HDMI cable.

- Power: Connect the power cable to the power supply unit (PSU) at the rear of the desktop and then to a wall outlet. Ensure the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
