number 1 rule when building your first computer. If it won't fit then it doesn't go there so don't force it in.

Putting everything together is pretty self explanatory anyway. You'll see when you have everything in front of you. But you can ask for help here if you're unsure of something.

As for tips, like Joga said, be patient, and do things in the order that will make it easier.

For example, install the RAM, CPU and the cooler on the motherboard before mounting it in the case. And install the PSU after the motherboard otherwise, all the cables just get in the way.
