    Start with the foundation - the computer. Make sure that it is working as it should. Everything else will fall into place :)

    Unless it's supported natively. Vista (assuming that's what'll be used) seems to support far more natively than any other OS (but that's probably because MS are taking up some of the slack for the manufacturers being too lazy).

    Can't say I've ever seen generalised instructions with a new PC.
