Scheme theory won't be that important (as you said, most of the time you are concerned with smooth projective varieties over $\mathbb C$). However, you didn't mention about your experience in homological algebra. Huybrechts' book is a pleasure to read, but it can't serve as a textbook in homological algebra. I would recommend e.g. reading first first few chapters of Weibel's book (1, 2, 3, 5, 10). Gelfand-Manin "Methods of Homological Algebra" is also a good reference here.

Moreover, there is a short introduction by R. P. Thomas "Derived categories for the working mathematician""Derived categories for the working mathematician".
