It was a miracle on my 3rd or 4th build when I just put everything together and it worked on first try. Didn’t even have to make a blood sacrifice.

I actually haven't ever built a computer that didn't boot on the first try. The closest I came, somehow, was my cousin's PC. I got it all built, I pushed the power button, and nothing happened. A quick glance around the case and a chuckle later, I pushed the Reset button and the power light came on and it booted to the BIOS.

He said thay he didn't have to, not that he didn't.

You don't always have to charge the machine spirit.

Is this really such a common occurrence? I've built 5 or 6 systems in my life and the only time it didn't boot instantly was when I accidentally bought the wrong RAM.

I usually forget to plug in a cable or two or miss the PSU switch among other silly mistakes. Never killed a machine, though.

miss the PSU switch

Oh sure, I didn't even count that. Probably has happened to me as well.
