About to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my Optiplex 9020 and download Blue Iris - Finally!

I am totally new to Networking so can someone please confirm the order in which I should set up my system.
(I already have cams installed, cable run, and the hardware I need)

What order should the following be installed - connected to set up my dedicated Blue Iris PC and attach it to my home network?

1. connect IP Cameras to PoE Switch #2 in garage.
2. Connect PoE Switch #2 to any port on Main PoE Switch.
**This is where I need some help**
I have:
3. my dedicated optiplex 9020 Blue Iris PC
4. Linksys AC 1900 router
5. Main Poe Switch (connected to PoE Switch 2)

In what order precisely and how should I connect #3, 4, 5? I want to be able to remote view so that is relevant.
I know there is more than ONE way, but I would like to not put too much traffic through my router except for remote viewing.

Plug #2, #3 #4 into #5 (the main PoE switch).

Bro...don't worry so freakin' much...you can't break it by plugging something into something else...unless you plug a cat5 cable into a 110v outlet! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!
