:I think you're ready. I had far less experience when I did my first PC build.
FIRST: ESD protection!!! (But you know this).
The biggest danger when installing a mobo is to get the standoffs in the right spots. A misplaced standoff can result in shorting to the case which will cause you to question your original decision to build your own pc...
Question ... are the standoff's the plastic mounting pins? Second question. Do the MOBO's usually have a detailed diagram showing the location of the various connections?
