Hey guys, I will soon be building my first gaming PC, here it is if you want to check it out: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Linkin506/saved/
Please do not recommend any other parts in this thread, I will post another for recommendations for my build. Anyways, since this is my first time building a PC, I am not sure what tools are needed, so can someone please tell me what is needed, like what kind of screw driver, or any other tools, and are anti-static bands really necessary? I will be building it on my living room table, the floor is hard wood and the table and chair is too, thee is no carpet or any sort of fabric in that room, so will I still need it? Thanks guys!

Phillips screwdriver, a small needle nose pliers, a small diagonal cutter and cable ties are really all you need. The cutter and pliers won't be used much - mostly for the cable ties for cable management. The pliers come in handy for the mobo standoffs (do not over tighten).

ok thanks guys! I am surprised, I would of thought you would need a lot more tools than just a Phillips screw driver and cable ties! And don't worry about it RazerZ, I just made a new post under CPU if u want to check out my build now.

These aren't the actual lamps I have - but similar. The longer the "goose neck", the better - you can never have enough light when searching for a dropped screw....

ok that works out great guys! I have everything you all said, screw drivers (pretty much any size) cable tiers, flashlight, and pliers, I will be working in basically an all wood room, so no worry about static, thanks guys!
