be careful with CPU/mobo pins and you'll be fine. don't force it in if it doesn't fit, some parts will need some force but if it can't fit then recheck.

we have the same case except i have the mini version, do the stand offs come preinstalled?

I may be wrong.

Put stuff together on your motherboard box before you put it all in the case, problems will be easier to solve if you don't have to dig around inside your case. Once you have it all working, then put it together in the case.

i can't tell without knowing what case  you have, if not then you can just screw it by hand or use some pliers.

Probably need to load up the front of the case with fans at some point given the low airflow.
