Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
What do I need to know for me to build this myself?

Solution
Nice build, but I would change that GPU from Gigabyte to MSI or Asus. Not sure if it's true but people say Gigabyte's are too loud, and die fast. MSI's are slightly more expensive. But these 3 are very similar. Still I'd go with the MSI one. Oh and Corsair is a ripoff(not saying they're bad, but expensive), get the G.skill Ripjaws instead, G.skill is fast as just as corsair just for lower price.

Is this build solely for gaming? You can do a lot better for the same amount of money.
EDIT: This build will beat your's in any game easily. What resolution are you using? You don't need such powerful hardware if only gaming with a single 1080p display.

The surprising thing is this build supports overclocking! Generally, you can't do this as you require a K-series CPU to overclock, like the i5 6600K. CPUS like the 6500 are what we called locked, and don't support overclocking. However, due to a loophole in Intel's 6th Gen CPUs, motherboard manufacturers can enable overclocking on their boards via a BIOS update. ASRock has been the first to implement this, hence the board
. You don't need to overclock right away; the 6700 is a very powerful CPU. However, if you need it in the future due to a bottleneck, the option is always there. Just add a decent cooler when you feel the need to overclock.
Now, to answer your initial question. A Philips Screwdriver and some common sense . Really, that's it!
Also, you can get an ESD wrist strap to prevent static discharge from frying your components. However, this is not essential; the simplest and safest way to deal with ESD is to simply leave components inside their original dissipative or metallized bag or other packaging until you are ready to put them in. If you change your mind half-way through the procedure, put it back in its original packaging to avoid mistakes such as forgetting to discharge ESD and pick it up by a grounded surface if you leave a part lying in some random place on your table/bench.
If you are unsure of what goes where, read up on a few guides online and you'll soon get the idea.
