Some tips to get you going on the build.
Your case may or may not come with the stand offs pre installed. See the case manual.
1. Take both sides of the case and put them to one side.
2. With the back of the case facing you, top left hand corner is the I/O shield, (this is where the ports on the Mobo come through, Mobo manual, page 13.) This shield usually has to be swapped for the one that comes with the Motherboard, It is a press fit, pushed from the outside of the case, insure that the replacement is the correct way up, refer to the case manual.
3. With the case laid down, back facing to the left, look for the stand offs on the Mobo installation plate, if installed, or holes if not installed. There must be the same number of stand offs matching the screw holes on the motherboard, NO EXTRA ones. Double check by carefully laying the Mobo in the case to make sure everything matches up. Remove the Mobo and place it on your insulated work surface. Proceed with the rest of the installation as per your manuals.
I always install the PSU first and the video card last.
When installing other add on cards, carefully read the manual first as some cards have to have the software installed before the hardware.
When installing the HDDs, try to leave the slot opposite the end of the PCI-E slot empty. Gives you room if the card is long.
Before starting the PC, recheck all connection, especially the fans.
Leave the side panel off so you can see that all the fans start and you cand see any indicator LEDs.
