The key points to emphasize are follow this guide step by step and you will get it work. There's a lot of optimization involved, but this guide is meant to get you up and running within 24 hours.

This is up for debate. I personally downclock my memory reported to be downclocked and confirmed by all software from msi afterburner to gpuz to sgminer to ethminer and on both extremes, low and high, I notice no difference in hash power over a 24 hour period.
Follow this general rule: Every minute you're not mining is ether missed. Spending a stupid amount of plan optimizing is ridiculous. Don't be silly and spend all your time planning.
The ultimate goal is to get your rig up and running as FAST as possible. If you're a professional miner, yes it may matter. Please add suggestions and I'll update this post. My advice to everyone is and take it with a grain of salt: You have a chance, a small chance, if you play your cards right, to get filthy rich. What you do now with your ether is up to you. You can horde it and hope it will..
You can sell it right away or use the extra capital for trading crypto.. This is the biggest thing to happen on the internet in the longest time. How much you believe in Ethereum versus how much time you can afford to wait will determine what you do. I'm not rich by any means.
I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on rigs or thousands of dollars to horde as much ether as I can. But what I do have is faith. Lots of it in Ethereum. I'm willing to take a huge risk to wait and sit on this ether. What will or ether mine years from now? If you don't know, check out the history of popular coins like bitcoin and litecoin, etc.
