Everything pretty much has it's own designated place in your new computer case. You can see where the screw holes are and easily assume which piece goes where. No better way to learn than to try it yourself.
Make sure all the pieces and wires are snapped securely into their designated sockets. Be sure to touch the power supply before touching anything else as to release any static electricity from your body.
We like having you around, so do us all a favor and unplug your computer from the power source before opening and taking it apart.

Cable management isn't that hard...just use twist ties or something.
This shouldn't be that hard. I suggest just taking everything apart and them assembling it again in the new case. If you really don't know what you're doing just google something like "how to put a computer together." there's a ton of tutorials

I just don't want to brake anything, that is my main concern.
There is no high risk to my hardware is there?

There shouldn't be...If you're really paranoid just get a static wristband thing. Read tutorials and you should be alright. I've never swapped a whole computer case before but I also suggest that you clean all your parts before putting them in the new case using compressed air. DO NOT use a vacuum unless on the case itself only. Make sure not to let fans spin while connected to your computer or else it could send electricity back to it and fry it or something like that.

What is compressed air? Also where would I buy it from? And a static wristband also?

My biggest concern would be the transfer of static electricity. I would solve this by constantly touching the powersupply or any bare metal part of the case before you touch a component, or have an antistatic wristband.
Failure to take these procautions can harm your computer severaly.
