Christmastime, I showed a 10 year old how to do it. He did 90% of the work.

It is actually pretty easy.

Tips?
1. Don't drop anything.
2. Go slow
3. Verify all connections
If it does not work the very first time, DO NOT PANIC. See #3.

You'll be fine. It took me about an hour to build my PC because I was worried about breaking something. I could probably built it in 10 - 15 minutes now. The toughest part was making sure the wires were connected to the right inputs. You should have documentation for which wires go where. Make sure its on a steady table of some sort.

Don't forget the Anti-Static Wrist Strap.

Looks like a nice build! USAFRet advice is great. But when checking connections, most of the time you have the front panel buttons/LEDs on your case mixed up.
I'm sure you will do great!

and don't forget well all had to do a first time -- to me it seemed after all the worry's it ended up being the cpu cooler was the biggest pain of it all [ theres a fine line of too much paste or too little and amd positive locking is easier then intel twist screws and all ] .. [opinion]

With one hand less coordinated than the other, it takes me a little longer to build a PC, but I'm careful, so it's been a while since I've not had one power right up.
Most power connectors can only go in one way. The easiest one to forget is the CPU's power connector (generally an 8-pin plug).
