How do I assembling my computer?

Hi

I just bought the parts for my new computer, but I'm afraid I don't know how to put them together properly.

Any of you guys know any good guides for how to assemble it?

These are the parts:
Case: Antec Three Hundred
CPU: Phenom II X4 965
CPU cooler: Scythe Mugen Mugen 2 CPU Cooler
PSU: Corsair TX750W
RAM: Kingston HyperX 2 x 2 GB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 5770 (1 GB)
OS: Windows 7 Professional

Thank you :)

Basically, you make sure you are free of static electricity first. Unpackage your mobo. Put it on say, a table. Next, take out the CPU, and put it in. BE CAREFUL! DO NOT FORCE THE CPU INTO THE MOBO!!!! It will only take a little bit of pressure. Look at the pins on the cpu or mobo and line them up with the holes, either on your mobo, or cpu. After you did that, make sure that there is some thermal grease, usually white or gray, on either the cpu or heat sink, most likely the heat sink. Put in on. Your manual that came with the mobo or with the cpu should tell you how. Next, get the RAM and put it in. There should also be instructions on how to do that with the mobo/ram. Now, leave the mobo. Get the case all set up. Install the mobo into the case. you have to aline the holes in your mobo with those in your case. Also, there should be a manual for that, with you mobo/case. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE MOBO AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN YOU WILL BREAK THE MOBO!! MAKE IT SNUG, TURN IT MAYBE HALF A TURN!! Once that is done, proceed with installing the PSU. Hook it up to the mobo. Install your hard drive in the hard drive bay in the case, hook that up to the mobo, and to the PSU. Install your video card, hook it up to the PSU. Next, install your optical drive. If you don't have one, you will have to buy one to install the OS. All done! Here is a video as well (not by me)
