Not so big of a deal with leaving oil. Bigger potential problem is a static shock. When dealing with the internal components of a computer, it is recommended to wear something like this.
It'll ground you out so you don't accidentally destroy things.
The 4770k adds "hyperthreading" which will do almost nothing for gaming. Depending on the type of editing you do it may give you some benefit for that. I would recommend go over to /r/buildapc for some guidance on putting together your pc and they can look over my build to give you a second opinion (it is legit though). I have built two PCs for myself and all it takes is patience and little bit of attention to detail. About as hard as puting together some legos by following the directions.
Building Tips
Thanks dude, very helpful.
Edit: Well he's talking about how cordless is garbage, which makes sense. I bought this strap will it work well for me? It's not like the one he's using where he plugs it into something. If I connect it to my case will it count as being grounded?
Hey dude... this video is a much better tutorial.

The way that the anti-static bag is it actually collects all the ESD damage on the outside of the bag, rendering the inside safe. A couple things you can do is actually just put it on the outside of the motherboard box, which is cardboard and non-conductive, wear rubber soled shoes and pick one of these up for 4 bucks.

You attach that to your wrist and a piece of metal (A part inside the case and this will keep you grounded)
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Out of budget? They're literally a couple of bucks at my local Fry's Electronics, or $3 on amazon
Get this as part of your build.
I used my old one so much that I actually bought a full $50 mat and grounding system for my most recent build.
You did a great job and I hope you have fun building your first computer. Three things I would do/get though, otherwise you have everything.
The first video in the series ink the links is about choosing parts which you already did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxaVBsXEiok
