as from by experience with 1155 mobos, closing cpu bracket is a scary experience, because everything creaks and looks like its going to break any second, dont worry its normal...
about Lucid, install lucid drivers and just plug in hdmi into the MOTHERBOARD, dont put anything into gpu. Check if it works by going into some game like crysis you will know for sure if it works or not.
Heard that in Z77 and ivy bridge cpu`s, performance is actually increased when using Lucid... that isnt the case with sandy so I stopped using it, since actually it dropped few fps in games and hdmi dont support my 120hz 3d monitor.

so you install the ati drivers while the hdmi cable is still in the mobo? you never connect to the ati card at all?
re: cpu - i made a boo boo with the rubber pads that made me think the screws were too short. got it in the end - but it never creaked at all. all feels solid.

one quick Q to double check - the fan cable has 2 connectors. i assume that the spare (after the 1st is connected to the mobo) is to attach another fan to control via PWM?
not to connect a power cable to? i had to do this in the past with a delta fan - why i'm asking

The 2nd connector might be a pass through to allow you to connect another fan, not really looked closely at the fan cable 
On the GPU front, Connect the HDMI lead to the motherboard as this will enable the onboard GPU and allow you to install Lucid, then install the main Gaming GPU drivers.
Bit of a late reply as you probably already done it by now

most of it, got a new xbox and did some fiddling and have been playing loads of halo 4 as well , and black ops 2, assassins creed 3 etc
will get it finished tonight i think. this cold is making it hard too - putting a pc together is really hard when you're in a slanket! - really, in one right now
