    everyone will have their own methodology, mines somewhat like the following;

    cpu onto motherboard
    cpu cooler onto motherboard
    1 stick ram into motherboard
    standoffs into case
    psu into case
    motherboard into case
    case connectors onto motherboard (power switch etc)
    HD into case and cabled

    boot at this point, without GPU & just 1 stick ram, to make sure it posts
    add remaining RAM
    add GPU
    obsess over cable management for next 3 hours

    sorta my ballpark process

    Do standoffs come with the case?

    Yh any case I've seen they come with it and a few other bits that you would need for cabling ect, some cases that stand offs are already built into the case.

    Your question on the gpu I'm not sure on what it would play but a good place to go would be youtube you can find loads of videos that will show games running on different cards and setups ect.
