    This is handy to use as a step by step checklist.

    And for more detail on any specific step, youtube is a good friend.

    Most of all enjoy :)

    The Building and Upgrading FAQ should always be your first port of call. Some good links in there for you.

    Plus a quick google should tell you all you should need, along with youtube for some video guides (as Marco suggested above).

    was in the same boat a few short weeks ago. I found youtude very handy as it gives you a good overview of the whole process. Was bricking the processor. Make a small mistake where the ram went and how much force to apply to seat it correctly. The internet and boards were very helpful to check small detail. Great sense of achievment after it. In the end it was much easier than what I thought it would it be. Best of luck with it.
