Im planning on ordering my parts for the computer im about to build tonight and i was wondering...what tools do i need to have in order to build it?
 
A screwdriver... and... yup thats pretty much it. Maybe some scissors...

Nothing you need to go out and buy. Unless you want an antistatic band but they aren't necessary (I dont use one).
 
Depending on the style and type of case the good old 4-in-1 screwdriver with two sizes of phillips head and two flat head screwdriver tips is all that has even seen a need here. The smaller of the two phillips head tips seems to be the universal fit there. Board fasteners, drive screws, case fan fasteners, etc. along with a thin pair of pliers to grab any that fall in the case and even some transparent tape to hold a screw on the end of the phillips when first reaching in depending on the frame of the case usually goes smooth.

I use the same thing-4 in 1 screwdriver and a pair of tweasers for picking up small droped stuff
 
On the case I just replaced you had to reach through a slot type opening to put in the drive screws for cd/dvd drive as well as the centrally located floppy drive. A pair tweezers wouldn't be long enough to reach anything that fell down in. You would have to turn the case sideways and upside down to have a loose item finally fall out! :mad: Not with the new case! That was a piece of cake slapping that one together "after" correcting the goofup they made when mounting the front intake fan. (Gee my board temps dropped from 44-46C down to 31-33C suddenly there with a 140mm intake and three 120mm blue leds fans(two on side cover) to get the air moving.)
