You only need a screwdriver, a knife and a scissor or snipping thingy.

The toolkit is a good idea but don't expect to use much of it for a normal build :P

You know these twistable cable ties you always get on brand new cable? Save those and use them for cable management. They're better than zip ties cuzz you can't open zip ties without breaking them. Really useful stuff.

 

or while you're at it. Buy some velcro cable ties.

You don't actually need much for putting together a PC these days. It's pretty much snap together, aside from sometimes a screwdriver if the case doesn't have the thumb twisty screws. Anti-static mat and wristband is a good place to start.
