pdf manuals here no?

And just install windows... the bios should already be there unless there is something seriously wrong

OK , here is your motherboard manual for download , in English ,

The chassis connections you have will be labelled on the plastic connectors , just go to the relevant page in the manual and follow the instructions, should be a piece of cake.
Panel/Chassis connections are on page 58 ( pdf page number not print page number )

All the rest of the connections are also in the manual for hard drives etc.

Well as andy pointed out, there should be little labels on the front panel wires/connectors which you can match up to the diagrams in the mobo manual... at least you're half way there

Well whaddya know there is a manual for the case as well , its here ,

Anyway all it says for the chassis connections is to refer to your motherboard manual and attach the " Labelled " connections to the corresponding connections on the motherboard.

leave webcam, cables ,memorycard cables disconnected for the moment,, make sure you get motherboard,powercables, sound, power , reset,plugged in the right way around, look for connector nos,small on mobo,and cable, look at cable colors, ide, cables to hardrives, cdrom/dvdrom,go the red stripe side cable is closeset to the power cable.red stripe approx an inch from cd/hd power cable.take it really slow.i think power cable to motherboard can only go in one way anyway.
