OEM is for people who often buy computers for the sole purpose of selling them, or people that are buying a whole computer all at once, like yourself.

You have to always buy hardware with it, but since you are anyways, and it's cheaper than buying the other version, I'd say go with it. You just can't expect any support from Microsoft if there's an issue with your install, you'll have to figure it out yourself.

So, when I'm done setting up my rig I just turn it on and put the disk in and configure the setting right?

Yes, exactly. But if you ever have to reinstall it, you usually just reinstall it (when it's not OEM), but with this you'll have to call Microsoft (it's an automated thing, don't worry) and get another code to install it again manually. That's the only bad thing about it, and it's pretty easy so I wouldn't worry about it. xD

Finding out where everything goes in your motherboard. And even that's pretty simple after doing it for the first time. I'm not talking about CPUs or graphics cards, just case fan and power supply connectors, the LED lights/ on and off switch for your case, etc.

Every motherboard manual comes with that knowledge, though, so everything about building computers, as long as you follow instructions, is very easy.
