The only real times where I have to stop and think is when plugging in the case components (like the power button). But many a times have I seen people put a heat sink on a processor with no thermal paste, thankfully sellers have gotten better with packaging to make it obvious so people don't get hundreds of dollars of components now.

I ran a pc for years with no thermal compound with no problems. Granted it was just a glorified NAS, so never had much load on it...
