Looks like a solid system.First thing you might want to do is get an anti static wrist strap while you're working.To be honest I don't do this but a lot of people recommend it hehe.Generally the build order goes something like this:Unpack everythingInstall CPU/HSF and RAM onto motherboardInstall PSU into caseInstall mobo into caseInstall optical drives, hdd's, other stuffConnect wiresPower it up and hope for POST LOL!Start cussing when it doesn't work the first time (check your connections)

Johnny,It looks like you are going with Win7 for the OS. I would highly recommend getting an SSD for the OS. I just bought one and installed Win7 and I am very happy with the performance!
