    Read the manual that comes with the kt7a, its extremely good. Mount the motherboard properly, using the correct amount of standoff's. Install the cpu and cooler before installing the motherboard. Take the power supply out of the case if necessary to make installation easier. You should be ok from there. Apart from blowing up, to make sure your pc boots, take a good while to look at the connections for the front panel connectors, this is a common problem.
