Hi everyone - first post on here, so please be gentle....I will almost definitely ask stupid questions... 
After years of spending a large amount of time and money in my local bike shop, I've convinced myself to do my first bike build. with the aim of teaching myself a few skills and hopefully end up with a nice bike.
I've got an 18 inch blue pig (last years model) that I picked up in a sale, and it's now clamped in my new workstand, asking to be started. I've acquired a Rockshox Sektor 140mm u-turn from a friend who bought it earlier in the year and never used it so that's saved me a bit of cash, and also a full XT 10sp groupset off ebay. I've got about a million questions to ask, but I'll start with a couple so as not to bore everyone straight away...
Bit late for this question, but has anyone used the 10sp XT kit on a blue-pig? And do I need a rear wheel with a specific 10sp hub, or will any shimano compatible hub do the trick?
On the blue pig frame, I notice the brake mounting holes on the seat stays don't seem to be threaded and have some sort of backing/cap at the rear which is also painted - does a brake caliper go straight onto these, or do they need tapping? Is this post mount ir IS?
I've got a headset press (borrowed) and was going to fit a hope headset with head doctor. I've read a few threads where people have had issues with these, and a similar amount of people having problems with the standard star-nut type of mounting. Can anyone tell me if they've fitted either/both on a blue-pig and whether you had any trouble?
Lastly, is the XT bottom bracket a good piece of kit, or seeing as I'm building this from scratch, is it worh investing in something like a Chris King BB from the off?
Any help/advice is much appreciated - and again, sorry if I'm asking any glaringly obvious or stupid questions.
Cheers,
Rich.
