Computer upgrade tomorrow

I'll upgrade most things without fear (it's only plugs and sockets - easy), but as I've already posted before, I have a phobia of anything involving thermal compound and heatsinks, and since it's a complete rebuild this time, guess what I have to do.

I'm not messing with thermal grease/AS5/anything else like that. Just going with what's on the bottom of the heatsink. My eyes really aren't up to anything more complicated. Hope to god I never have to remove it.

So, any moral support, advice, warnings, panic-stricken 'OMG I killed it' messages, or anything else, relevant or semi-relevant?
