You're about to make a fine gaming PC. Here is some important advice -

1 - I advise you invest in an anti-static wrist band. Static electricity from your fingers will destroy your sensitive components by even hovering your finger across them. Buy one with a crocodile clip and attach it to a bare piece of metal on the case. Your components will be safe then.

2 - Take your time installing your components. Rushing may cause damage to your components, so install them slowly and don't touch the gold on your components, especially your CPU. Hold it by the edges and don't shake violently. It can be nerve racking so stay calm and relax.

3 - If you are still unsure about how to install your components, this guide by LinusTechTips will help you - http://youtu.be/roFb3TNePIg
