Other issues to add to Rabmac is simply doing things in a logical order and keeping things neat and tidy. Having a modular PSU is definitely a plus for all things cable management related. Having the right tools and enough space to safely manipulate the case is definitely a plus too.
Make sure to ground yourself whenever you're dealing with the cpu and ram modules.
Some view system building as a chore, some thoroughly enjoy it. I hope you have a good time.:)

Apart from setting everything up software wise and fitting the cooler it is pretty straight forward. The only other thing that is slightly tricky for some is reading the motherboard manual to see how all the front panel connects.

I would suggest doing your first build supervised by someone who has build a rig before. It really helps with piece of mind, you have to remember this is some expensive gear you are handling.

There will likely be a few times when you are worried you are having to apply too much pressure and that you are going to snap something. If that is the case, read and re-read the instructions for that step.

Premium items tend to come with clearer instructions, however some are bloody diabolical. Youtube will be your best friend if that is the case.

The build looks solid, dont forget to include an OS price (check for keys alone, you can save big bucks) and remember you can now buy a Windows 7,8 or 8.1 key and input this straight into 10 (for the moment).

After you have the PSU in the case, plug it into the mains, but DONT turn on the little switch, this will ground the case and whenever you touch the metal work this will ground you.

Mainly enjoy!
