Nice, should be reasonably straight forward. I saw that you were worried about the CPU--that part is intimidating but also not as bad as it seems. There is plenty of space around the edge to hold on without touching the pins. Just look the chip and the motherboard over carefully before you pick them up to see how to align the chip--there's a notch in the corner to make sure it fits right.
Do you have any tools and a static strap? You'll probably need a small screwdriver, and the static strap gave me peace of mind, though you don't necessarily need it.
I got a tool set like this, and it was super useful to have everything I needed in one place. The best item was the little part grabber for when you inevitably drop a screw somewhere in the case or on another board. I think one of the tools is also to help you hold the cpu while you install it. The $22 version has a static strap plus some other tools, or you can buy the static strap separately.
Edit: Realized something later--straight forward doesn't mean error or mistake free! Take it slow, and if something isn't working, back up a few steps and figure out what went wrong. Worst case, pull it all apart and start over! Don't want you thinking you're bad at this after everyone said how "easy" it is when you realize at the very end you put something in upside down or missed some screw. Everyone does that!
WOW
PC Chips? You win man. Here I thought I was the outlier with an ECS "GAMING" motherboard...that shouldn't have been "Gaming". I RMA'd it after 2 or 3 dead ram slots and received back a board with rust on it.
We all slice our fingers when building our first computers. Here's a link to the rosewill tools: Link
The picky-uppy thing saved my butt so many times when I drop screws in corners of the case, or into heatsinks.
Programming...interesting move.
WOW! 512! AGP! My friends had AGP, it was the future man...I was not so cool with my PCIe slot.....look who's the cool kid now. Also I opted for the best graphics card I could have, Geforce 7600GT with 256mb instead of 512mb of ram....because it was upgraded from DDR2 to DDR3! (Sorry, got a bit excited)
What year did you build your PC?
