I'm going to buy the parts to build my pc for the first time and I was wondering if the components are compatible with one and another (ie. if the ram will work with the mobo). does it come with cables or do I have to buy them separately? I'm on a tight budget so this is what i can afford. are all psu the same size? Ssy I'm a bit paranoid ( I don't want to screw up my first build.)

Yes, it should all be compatible. When you're building, make sure to wear a static wristband so that you don't shock your computer parts into oblivion ;) Also, make sure to be extremely careful when placing your CPU into the socket; it's extremely easy to break pins.
Make sure that your RAM is properly seated before POSTing, or else your computer could catch on fire. Also, be absolutely positive that your cooler is seated properly, else your CPU will immediately overheat.
In total, just be careful with what your doing; have the Newegg video on youtube up the whole time (if you can), and just be careful :)

should i put the mobo in the case first and then put the rest of the components in or should I put everything on the mobo first and then put it in the case? btw where should I assemble my pc? table or floor? I'm a complete noob when it comes to tech related stuff.

Haha no worries :) what you're supposed to do is take the motherboard (on the table) and put int he processor, processor cooler, and RAM. Then, connect it to a monitor and try to boot it up (there are tutorials for this, linked at the end of my post) to make sure that everything works. THEN, you put it into your case (which is on the table) and screw in the standoffs. Once it is in the case, you can put in the GPU, etc.

You don't even need a wristband- its completely unnecessary. Just ground yourself and you'll be fine.

Its relatively easily to do, just be careful and make sure its together properly and securely.
