What tools, etc. do I need to assemble first build

[PTROTH]

Closing in on purchases for first time build. Any suggestions from experienced builders as to what else I might need?

Zip ties - have/can get from local hardware store
cable housing - Newegg/RadioShack?
tools - have fairly good collection of typical household tools - anything special I might need? Case is supposed to be tools-free.

You don't really need cable housing. You only use that if you are gonna custom sleeve cables.

The only things I used when assembling my PC is a Phillips head screwdriver, scissors (for cutting excess off zip ties), zip ties, and my hands. The biggest thing to remember is to take your time and don't cut any corners.

I used to read all these warnings about static electricity and computer innards, but haven't seen much lately. Do I really need to buy one of those goofy anti-static wrist straps?

I wouldn't, but you can if your worried about it. Just don't build your PC in the carpet, and don't wear socks. Also, ground yourself everytime you move or are about to touch a PC component. All you have to do is touch something with bare metal (your case for example) for a couple seconds, and wahlah, your grounded.
