I have never had to configure a BIOS, place a CPU, etc. I doubt the CPU/mobo will come with instructions so their a place I can download instructions that will take me step by step through the process? Much appreciated.

I will practically guarantee you that your current hard drive will not boot after that many hardware changes.
A manual will come with the motherboardand it will explain a lot... Actually, everything. It's all pretty simple. Just be sure to read the manual for the motherboard and not be in a hurry connecting everything.
Mounting the heatsink will be the only challenge. I thought my motherboard was gonna snap in half the first time I put a heatsink on.
I just found a pretty good link that shows you how to put on the heatsink:
