I was just about to say this, worked in IT for many years, I've never used more than a screwdriver and cable ties putting a PC together.

When I were a lad I could only dream of owning a screwdriver, I had to make do with these :

Philips head screwdriver size 0 and 1

A static dissipating wrist strap clipped to a bared metal point of the case on which you're working is recommended, and a cheap one often comes with the memory.

(to keep you, the components you hold and the computer being built at the same voltage level and prevent static crackles from running from you to the computer through the component causing damage, sometimes just subtle damage. If you lack the wrist strap, tap your hand against the metal inside of the case frequently. )

A few saucers to hold screws and small parts of varying depths. In case you need to reverse your steps while building.

Pen and paper.

The pliers is good for cutting the ends off of cable ties as well.
