I've read through the Step by Step guide on here and many other guides thoroughly and I feel pretty ready for when all the parts arrive later this week.

Any tips from you guys that have done this before? Anything I can do or should know to make it easier and not screw it all up?
 
Take your time, enjoy yourself, dont drop anything (pretty much a given).
Other than that guides explain everything you need.

From personal experience, and from helping others, take the time to do cable management, it improves airflow, and makes the system look much nicer.

Ground yourself on a peice of metal.. Obviously lol.. build in areas where the least chance of causing static discharge is (no carpet or nothing like that) and just follow the installation guides on here and in the motherboard booklet.. Motherboard is the only one you really have to pay attention to due to the Front panel connectors other than that. the GPU and CPU and RAM are easy to put in.
