Arrow Computer Building Tutorials (videos)... first build

I thought it would be nice if tech-forums made a VIDEO on how to build computers with a modern system. I've found some on youtube but they aren't very good... not specific enough I guess.

Is there a specific order to build a computer? Like put in mobo first, PSU second, ram third, hdd/dvd drives fourth, etc??

I'm sure everyone can see my signature in green on the bottom... if I had all those things here including a SATA connector and a DVD drive... am I set to build or do I need more things? As in connectors, (heard things about jumpers, what are jumpers??), etc...

There is already a sticky on that kind of guide, but I think it should be replaced with that one.
