First time building a computer.

I was going to skip the overclocking, but running the numbers, with a $100 water cooler you can go from the stock 3.7ghz to 4.7 easily with no hassle. That's over 20% faster, and for about 5% more money based on the overall build.

After waffling for months I finally went ahead and ordered all the parts for a new computer. Of course I've never built one myself but how hard can it be, right? Well after reading through all the options and bios settings on the motherboard I'm starting to wonder if I'm in a bit over my head. Anyway if there are any experienced builders here let me know if you have any advice.

Here are the big pieces
i7 8700k cpu
Asus strix rog 370-E gaming mobo
Samsung 960 evo nvme ssd 500gb
Asus GTX 1080 graphics card
16GB ram

Also got an all in one water cooler so I can overclock the cpu. I plan on just going to 4.7ghz so not going to try to squeeze every last ghz out of it but from what I've read 4.7 should be a set it and forget it level of OC.
