No problem, also if you've never built a pc before you should go on youtube and watch a couple of videos. After you feel your confident go ahead and try and build it.

Tip: Get an anti static wrist strap while you work, and always work on a smooth surface with no friction. Also a few tie wraps can come in handy for cable management :)

Thanks for reminding me of the ties! Almost forgot them. Also I got a Rosewill wrist strap cause I thought to my self "This will come in handy some day."

Also about the case, will that be good enough to cool all my parts? The case isn't something I want to cheap out on.

Yep it will be great. Also if you want to overclock your CPU, look into getting a CPU cooler such as the Hyper 212 Evo for $30.
