Just watch a lot of videos and take your time.

As DLoT said watch as many detailed PC build videos as you can and take your time and double or even triple check your work before powering up the newly built rig.
Using an anti-static wrist strap is always a good idea, it will ensure you don't zap any of your components with static electricity while handling them.

Make sure you have MB standoffs in the proper location on the case for your MB.
If the back of the MB touches the case at all it will short out which could damage it.

Do NOT over tighten the screws, snug by hand is all that is needed, if you over tighten them you can crack the PCB.

Also a magnetic tipped screw driver is an essential tool when building a PC.
One dropped/lost screw could easily short whatever component it is touching when the power is switched on.

Are you moving some pre-built OEM system to another case or are you moving a custom built system? Did you build it in the first place? If you have an OEM system you better make sure the power supply connector is standard and that the motherboard shape and mounting holes will match the case.

^ Excellent point HT9,
OEM parts are almost always proprietary and unlikely to be placed in a standard case easily if at all.
