am I even going to be able to assemble a computer without help? I don't have any experience putting hardware together
Take your time. Read a lot. Between your motherboard, case, and power supply manuals you will have no problem.
Yes you will need to force down the enclosure for your processor. No you won't break it. Just don't touch the bottom (pins) and make sure it's aligned correctly. Inserting your RAM will be similar. No enclosure, but they can require quite a bit of force to get in sometimes.
