I made a mistake at 5:40, use a SHORT countersunk screw there, otherwise you might run out of long countersunk screws a little early.

[FAQ]
Q I don't have the really long screw mentioned at 1:28.
A It is no longer part of the kit as connecting the GPU hangers together is not necessary, and the internal threading made it hard to accomplish. Your GPU is totally fine with just the long GPU hanger.
Q Why did you use the alternative PSU mount?
A Because I could, it does provide slightly better thermals for FE cards
Q What stand-offs should I use to connect the riser bracket to the side strut?
A The formula is (slot selection -1) * 20mm = amount of stand-off you need. So for a 2 slot card it's 20mm, 2.5 slot uses 30mm, and 3 slot uses 40mm.
Q What screwdriver is that?
A The listing I bought it from calls it "XIAOMI Mijia 350mAh 200rpm Electric Precision Screwdriver Type-C Rechargeable 2 Gears Repair Tool W/ Magnetic Storage Case & 24pcs S2 Steel Bits", paid just under $30 for it including delivery to the UK. Does the job well enough!
