Today i get my new case(Fractal Design Define R4 w/ Window,) and i'll be moving from my Antec 200v2 and i just wanted to get a little information on the Disassembly and Assembly process.

So Is this the right order for disassembly?

1.Disconnect the PSU from everything and proceed to take it out.

2.Take out the expansion cards(GPU and Wireless Network Card.)

3.Take out the Motherboard, CPU, and RAM

4.Take out HDD and Disk Drive

5.Take out extra partially broken fan that im praying will still work.(CoolerMaster SickleFlow 120mm Case Fan Blue)

6.Clean Compents to the best of my ability even though i dont have compressed air

1.Motherboard, CPU, and RAM

2.PSU(I'll connect everything besides what falls after this step)

3.HDD and Disk Drive

4.Expansion Cards

5.Extra Fan

So is that is or did i make a misktake?
 
That's fine. Usally how I do it. Except, do not put the PSU in second. That should go in first, than the motherboard. Much easier to do it this way if you ask me. Still, does it really matter? As long as you are careful with your components it's fine.

Doesn't really matter what order you do it in so long as it all works at the end.

I always put the power supply in first, so then I can plug it in and ground myself on it. If I'm disassembling, I'll usually take it out last for the same reason (but obviously disconnect all the cables inside the PC).
 
Disassembly, pull PSU first and motherboard last.

Reassembly, put motherboard first and PSU last.

To discharge yourself plug in PSU while it's on the table and touch the shell but be sure the switch is off.
