new to gaming PC total noob

[Maxismadmax]

just had got given my brother in laws "old" gaming pc and I'm at a total loss of what I have. So it's intel core i7,dual geforce gtx 780 3gb, tx850 power supply. 4 PNY 8gb RAM and 1TB HD with an 256gb ssd. So the ssd has been cleared so I don't know what's not there anymore I'm hoping to use my hdtv for monitor but am overwhelmed at all the ports on the back side. I have been a macbook user so this desktop has me worried that I could do some damage to it. So please advise on basic setup and any other info on this monster.

find the hdmi port and if your tv has hdmi plug it in witha hdmi wire some thing like this http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/cable-universe-hdmi-cable-with-ethernet-red-1-8-metres.html?language=en&currency=GBP

I recommend using you tv's HDMI port and the computer's HDMI port. You will need to purchase a HDMI cable and then plug it in. Obviously you will need to reinstall windows on it and the drivers and stuff like that. Here is a link to what an HDMI cable looks like and where it should plug in.
