You basicly just put it in then put the heatsink and fan on it, but first you must make sure you are geting the right kind for your motherboard.

If you buy a new processor that comes with the heatsink and fan, then that is all you need.

Dont forget that CPUs cant fit in every motherboard thats out there.

Didnt you have an Intel?

You cant take an Intel CPU out and replace it with an AMD.

Crayon, I recommend that you check out this site and read about how different parts of a computer work.

Its good that you are interested about computers, and that site that I linked to will give some nice basic information for you.

Do you even know what socket your CPU is? If you have socket 755 for example, and you buy a socket 478, your screwed. And make sure you dont get an OEM cpu, they have no warrenty and don't come with a heatsink and fan.
