I actually didn't hear about this.
Oh, well good thing then.
Build on a table, nice and sturdy with plenty of space.
Ground yourself by touching metal on the case before you touch any of your components. Also, keep the touching to a minimum. Like, don't touch the motherboard on the bottom, hold it by the sides.
If you're building with intel, when you close the socket odds are there will be resistance and maybe even a creaking sound. It's normal, just push with some force until you lock it into place.
