sql-server security configuration installation service-accounts

                          I'd like to follow best practices.
However, is it overkill to create a new service account (with minimal access and no special rights) and then use that account to install SQL Server? 

Are there downsides if I do the installation under my administrator account? 

Side note: I already have separate service accounts that will run SQL Server engine and SQL Server Agent service.
