where to start for a 100% total noob at laying wire...

Looks pretty pro, esp for a home install. Compare that to some of the "electrician installs" you see on here every so often.

cool man thanks for the words of confidence heh. i tried to take my time so that i could do everything right and only have to do it once, so i am definitely happy with how it turned out.

i just finished cleaning my office (where the hub is located inside the closet) because it was a freaking disaster due to this project, and it feels good that it's all clean now and everything is done

Did you zip tie the in wall cables to the patches? If so I really recommend velcro (you can by the double sided rolls at the hardware store. Velcro the patch cables separate from the wall cables. If possible I would try and attach the in wall cables to the brace if you can. Mostly to keep them from moving if you ever need to repatch cables.

Also your wifi antenna is sideways!
