Op there's also going to be 8 o-rings that you'll need to replace. 4 of them are up top and 4 down below. The gasket set that I got when I did mine only came with 4 so you may want to make sure the set you're getting has all 8 plus the valve cover gasket when you buy it.

Yea, the gasket is easy to do. Just make sure it's on straight all the way around the valve cover before tightening it down. And even though it's been said many many times already, DON'T OVER TIGHTEN THEM! USE A TORQUE WRENCH!
Also, a valve adjustment would be ideal while you are replacing the gasket like drummersteve said.
Here's a good step by step for the procedure. It's more for a V type engine and not an inline engine, but it's basically the same concept.
Valve Adjustment Procedure
1. Valves can be set on a hot or cold engine. A cold engine is a lot more comfortable to work on. Major camshaft manufacturers recommend setting valves cold, to avoid erroneous adjustments on lifters that may be "pumped up" If you are setting valves on a fresh engine that has not been run, everything should be well lubricated before you begin.
2. Remove both valve covers and remove the spark plugs to make the engine easier to turn over. Also, If you are setting valves on all cylinders, it is generally easier and less confusing to just loosen all of the rocker arm adjustment nuts before you begin. This also allows for all of the internal lifter plungers to return to their "home" position.
3. Using a long handled ratchet or breaker bar attached to the crank bolt, turn the engine over in the clockwise direction.
A. Starting with #1 cylinder, turn the engine over until the exhaust pushrod just begins to move up.
B. At this point, stop and adjust the intake valve on the same cylinder.
1) Tighten the rocker until you can roll the pushrod between your thumb and forefinger with the slightest bit of resistance.
2) At this point tighten between an additional quarter to half of a turn.
C. You have now adjusted the #1 intake valve. You will now want to turn the engine over while watching the same intake pushrod that you just set, it will go full open and then begin to close. When it is almost closed, stop and adjust the exhaust rocker arm on that particular cylinder. By following this procedure, you are assured that both of the lifters are at the base circle of the cam and that there is no additional pre-load applied to them from cam lift at this point.
D. You are now able to repeat this procedure on the remaining cylinders.
4.Re-install your valve covers and your valve adjustment procedure is finished
