Don't forget to put in the screws to raise the mobo off the backer plate. Other then that sounds like a good start!

If your looking for step by steps instructions on what and when to do what, I would look on the Internet. There are many sites that will show you how to do what and when. Try, http://www.tomshardware.com/index.html
http://www.anandtech.com/
This site I like a lot.
http://www.extremetech.com/

Just do a search you find all you need, coming here and posting will help but I think you would be better trying the sites I listed.

Good luck,

Falcon

Screw the mobo down first. Then hook everything else up. Hook the tiny speaker/hdled/pwr/reset switches in first. If you don't it will be more difficult when you have all the IDE and power cables running around.
