New Build questions on installation

Ok, so its my first time in this forum coz ive been reading a lot about building a new computer. Ive been reading the stickies and it kinda helped and gave me a little step by step on how to build a comp.

So yeah, this thread has been helping me out a lot and i think I might follow this build up.

http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=154458

Im planning on building an AMD Gaming case around $1000 too so yeah.

Now, my question is? When it comes to installing the parts into the case, as a beginner, how would u rate the installation, would it be fairly easy? Like..Does the instructions for installing the parts onto the case come with the products when you buy them? Coz i dont want to sepnd all this money and end up permanently messing up on something and wasting $1000.

Im a real beginner here so Im like totally clueless.

The most things ive ever done to a computer is change the graphics card to update it...lol and that went smoothly.

So yeah, I also saw/heard taht dual graphic cards seem to make gameplay a lot better so I was wondering, is it more complicated to install dual graphics cards or is it just literally installing two graphics cards? Should I do it as a beginner starting his first build?

Hope u guys could help me out. >.<

I wouldn't even THINK about doing a SLI or Crossfire rig as a first build.

No, installation instructions do not come with cases.

It's dated, but the principles are still the same.
