#1 - Try not to build on any carpets regardless of wrist wraps.

#2 - Don't forget to use standoffs for the motherboard when attaching it to the PC case. Not using standoffs runs the risk of frying the motherboard. Standoffs are included with the PC case, please use them.

#3 - Connect the correct power cables to the correct components (for example, don't connect the CPU power cable to the video card).

#4 - Take advantage of cabling room in the PC case. If you can route cables in the back panel, do so, it will make for a much cleaner build.

Yes, you'll be fine with that power supply.

It shouldn't be a risk as long as you screw in the card in front of the PCIe slot.
