Since this pc is going to be my very first self built computer I am being very cautious with my parts. Is it safe to set my new motherboard down on my kitchen table (where I am building the pc) while I put the ram and such in it. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!
 
Pretty much. But if you don't have anything else, I'd put the motherboard on the anti-static bag it came in.

The following thread is primarily for troubleshooting boot problems, but the first part contains a checklist that should catch most of the noobish mistakes.
