I can't recommend any books, but a few tips to keep in mind for your first time:
--have a professional mount the processor and the heatsink to your board. They are way too fragile and way too expense to risk otherwise. They shouldn't charge you more than $10, but will probably do it for free if you buy it from them.
--be careful where you poke that screw driver. I have seen more than one guy clumsily poke the board or card with the tip and break a circuit.
--Watch your grounding... you don't want the board touching the case anywhere except by the mounting holes.
---Add cards one at a time. IE: add your video card first, then install your OS, once the OS is up add things like NIC's and Audio etc... (someone will probably disagree with this, but I find it easier).
--Finally, don't "seal up the box" until everything is working well. Everyone I know has done this; they chuck in all the components, screw on the panels and then wind up taking it all apart again cause something isnt working right
---good luck
