Yep, Philips is the only tool that is definitely needed. If you don't have access to anti-static wristband, try to assemble the rig on tile/hardwood floor (such as at the kitchen table). This reduces the risk of electrostatic buildup. Also, make sure you touch any metal on the outside of the case every so often. This will discharge you of any static buildup. I personally like to use wire ties for cable management, but not necessary.I have found that I have had to use a small socket to put in the motherboard standoffs as sometimes the manufacturer's paint application makes it hard to turn them by hand.
