Hey everyone! I'm about to build my very first PC this weekend. I'm a bit nervous about static electricity and CPU installation. Any last-minute tips to avoid common mistakes?

Don't stress too much about static electricity, modern components are quite resilient. Just don't build on carpet, and touch the metal case occasionally.
Be very careful when dropping the CPU into the socket. Do not apply force, it should just drop in naturally. Double check the triangle indicator!
