Pc parts come in today any tips on how to not fuck it up ?
Keep a hand on the case/power supply so you're grounded, and RTFM.
Make sure you put in the io shield and take care of the stand offs, and focus on cable management if you've got the room. Other than that, dont go full /v/tard
Make sure to clean all parts with water because their is sometimes some dirt on them.

you can touch the case, but that's not grounding, you're just dividing the charge of your body equally with the case
if you want grounding you need a physical connection to ground via a special connector that only has the ground pin brought out or a regular mains cable connected to the psu

Yeah don't do that
Just be careful, don't use much force with stuff and be careful with screwdrivers etc, dropping one on a motherboard can be fun

don't let the parts laying on the outer side of the anti-static bag
ground yourself
