Moved the card to the second gfx card slot and haven't had a crash yet.
However, I've also only been playing games strictly in 32-bit mode.
I'm not entirely clear on how drivers work and crash wrt on-card and other memory, but could there be something to the 32-bit setting that's preventing crashes? Does that make sense?
Should be straight forward. Read manuals, make sure you're plugging the right things in the right places.
And don't get discouraged the first time you hit the power button and nothing happens. Even the best builders go absent minded and forget something now and then. It's an electronic device, so start your troubleshooting at the wall power receptacle.
Is the outlet active? Is the power cord plugged in on both ends? Is the power supply switched to On? Is the power supply connected to the motherboard? Is the case's power button connected plugged into the right spot on the motherboard?
The only problem I had was the IO plate and those ****ing prongs. I eventually just bent them a bit more than recommended to get a good fit, but many profanities dropped with that step. Just ground yourself and you'll be fine.
Err just remembered, I did get hung up a bit on the connections with the PSU but eventually figured it out.

Yeah I have everything done except for PSU and connecting stuff.
The IO Shield/motherboard has bothered me the most so far as well. Was a pain in the ass
Do you have a laptop with a webcam or something that you can stream the build? If so, I can watch and help point out what you're doing right/wrong if you'd like. Also, there are several resources on youtube that will help you.
Once you're done the setup, I would highly suggest you follow this guide:

Haha that ****ing IO plate took me so much time too. That, and the CPU; I always **** my pants when I have to apply some force to clamp it in. ****ing 300$ square that looks like it could break by sneezing on it
I have two built in fans on my case, and one CHAFAN spot on the motherboard that I can find.. how do I connect the second fan?
What pins should be unused on my motherboard? I have all the media connections made, but all the USB stuff is empty, I feel like I'm forgetting something...
The only fans are the two built into the case. One plugged into CHAFAN slot, other is currently unplugged
The USB I figured out, but there are like those extra USB 2.0 and 3.0 or whatever slots on the motherboard unused. I do have the cord that was in the case plugged into the motherboard.

Those are just for if you want to connect extra usb ports
Empty motherboard connectors is no big deal. Non-plugged in wires means you're losing functionality. Usually on the case, as has been mentioned.
If the fan in question doesn't already have the splitter pictured above, yeah, you'll have to buy a splitter. They're super cheap though so I'd recommend it.
yeah, you're always supposed to plug the monitor directly into the GPU otherwise your're just using your cpu's graphics capabilities which it might not even have
