Could somebody recommend an online guide that would take a newbie from this point forward?

What are the next steps? Things to look for? Dangers?

Thanks for your time.

I always keep the case open while I am installing the OS. Once I have the OS up and patched to the latest service pack, I install motherboard monitor to check CPU temps.
