Now for mobo instalation...My case came with 4 little gold screw things coming out of the motherboard plate...do I just align those screws with the holes in the mobo...and screw them in?

put the cpu and the hsf in the mobo first, before you fit it in the case

edit: the plastic things are called spacers and they sit between the actual mobo and the screws, to protect the mobo from damage

you could still put the mobo in first, but its a pain in the ass when u installed the hsf....i did what u are doing now , putting the mobo in first, and i had to take it out just to installed the hsf
