help me not break my PC

[rambo1220]

For the holiday's the people let me purchase parts to assemble a PC.
that's it kinda

but otherwise, I just wanted to reach out a lil' and ask the forums (when has that ever been a good idea) about any do's and dont's while building said comput. I'm already aware of the electricity shenanigans involving touching your power supply every here and there and to cover your area in garbage bags or whatever to prevent static.

so what do I do and what do I not do.
(list of parts if anyone wants to tell me what's compatible/what's not)

beat all the parts with a sledgehammer and cram the pieces into an empty tower

[Sheepocalypse]

PLEASE spend like those $2 on the cable that grounds yourself. I ruined two mobos because of me being a tard.

why yes, this is the most educated route to go, I applaud you.

you mean the lil' cable that prevents shorting that wraps around your wrist?

I've never had to use anything like this and I build computers bare handed. I fix them in my room which has a carpet. (I put my shoes on though, they have thick rubber soles)
Every few moments I'll just discharge myself on a near metal object

You mean anti static wristband?

To not get your stuff forgeted over by static electricity just frequently ground yourself touching the case once in a while.
Or keep touching it all the time if you're anxious

dont get a seagate harddrive.

yes
its better to be safe than sorry. Spending $400+ would suck if you accidentally discharged on it
btw nice build but I'd recommend a little more ram

you're not my dad

I'll be getting more ram in the future definitely, just the current as of now though.

Based on your wording you've probably already bought them. Even so I'd still like to say that this would be a better choice: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tokthree/saved/Wg9D4D

The Pentium G3460 is at least as powerful as the X4 860k and has the benefit of using the LGA 1150 socket, giving you a clear upgrade path to an i5 4690k or i7 4790k if you ever have the budget for it, both processors will remain competitive for a few more years at least, especially once their prices start dropping. All this at more or less the same price.

Even if you've already bought what you posted in the OP I think it's worthwhile to know what other options were available and why. Helps refine your knowledge as a consumer

[Dragonoid.Slayer]

What is your price range?

have already purchased, but will definitely keep that CPU in mind if mine ever happens to forget itself over.
