Well... I would start to move the cables inside the frame first.
As it can help to have the BB and headset holes open to help any difficulty.
And only then, press the BB and headset.
Any remaining operation can be done mostly in any order.
One trick if you go tubeless, as this can be a time sink.
It is to inflate a tube inside the tire( unmounted from the rim ) for a few hours, better a night before.
It takes its shape and pops very easily.
Mount the tire dry first without sealant, and inflate it until it pops.
Then remove the core of the valve and with a syringe fill the sealant.
Re-inflate and shake, or even better go and ride on some bumps.

Can you guys please stop saying the word "press"?
It's a drop-in headset. You don't need a press. You need fingers. That's it.
You're conveying the (wrong) idea that this frame takes a press-in headset. It doesn't. Stop.

I will go with the rest of the group and recommend doing the internal cables first. Then the BB. After that, it all depends on what job you feel like doing next. One particular job doesn't rely on another being done first. Except for the chain sizing. That is definitely done last.

Stop.
Don't get all worked up. This is a friendly forum where things get typed wrong sometimes. ;D
Luke.Moore was asking for help so he probably didn't realize that. lRaphl took care of that and mentioned that they were drop in bearings. Carbonazza, well he probably just had one to many bong hits for breakfast.... LOL. Or realistically, was just helping with the order of things without over analyzing the headset type.
carbonazza:
I'll use the words "drop the headset" in the future.
Although I usually press it with my fingers :) Ok... I stop.

Frame looks good. Patiently waiting for the finished product. 8)
