I'm buying the parts for my first ever gaming PC tomorrow. Any final thoughts on ANYTHING before I commit to buy?

I'm not buying speakers for now since I'm debating whether or not to get some bog-standard ones or spend a lot more on a decent 2.1 setup with an amp and everything - although I can't afford that just yet.

Any extra recommendations for PC accessories that you use to make your life easier or are just worth having. Things like surge protectors, floor stands for PC case and other tips and tricks that you might know. Even software that you like to use i.e. disk defrag software, system cleaners and system maintenance software like System Mechanic. I want to keep everything running smoothly.

Thanks,
Miles.

You talked about a surge protector. This is a great thing to buy just to be safe. You don't want to be in the middle of a storm, and have a power surge, and completely ruin your build just because you didn't spend a few extra bucks on a surge protector. You're already going all out, you just as soon go the extra mile, and buy a surge protector. If you want a good anti-virus, i recommend getting Avast, I've been having it for a while, and it's worth the money, or you can get avast free antivirus and still have great protection.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security on my laptop at the moment so I'm probably going to get another copy for my new PC. I'm looking for some other anti-virus software at the moment and comparing them to Kaspersky and Avast.
