you will need paste on the cpu or it will blow up 
its pretty straight forward realy.... remove cpu socket protection thing over the cpu socket. put in the cpu and look for the notches to fit in, apply some thermal paste(arctic silver 5) and place CPU heat sink on and clip it into the motherboard(plug in the fan power supply to the pins near the cpu socket). insert ram and push till the little white latches click up locking it on. finally insert graphics card if you have a non intergrated graphics, and just screw it into you case. then thats the hard bit done just plug in power cables (including the 4/8 pin cpu power which is located near the cpu socket, the 20/24pin usually on the right side of motherboard and pcie powersupply to graphics card if it needs it) and all the sata and pata ports in of course all your drive and stuff wil need thier own power supply

be careful with ESD, i suggest you wear a grounded wrist strap, but this is somethings long and annoying, so make sure you touch grounded metal every few minutes, (i touch the metal on my radiator)... and ofcourse, dont touch any circuits, and do not wear latex gloves
Freezer 7 Pro Thermal Compound
We ship our coolers with our latest ARCTIC MX-2 thermal compound pre-applied. MX-2 is a high thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance compound that optimizes thermal dissipation. It is ideally suited for use in CPU and GPU cooling where thermal conductivity is a major factor. Just incase your wondering what thermal compound it is, so no worries there.
