you would remove all your components from the PC case and basically build a new PC from scratch (of course you don't have to take the CPU out of the socket or the ram)

 

most ATX motherboards have 7 screws located around the board to hold it in

Those screws screw into brass standoffs, which leave a little bit of room between the bottom of the motherboard and the case so it can't short out. Just make sure every screw hole has a standoff beneath it, and that there aren't any other standoffs installed where there isn't a screw hole. Once the motherboard is screwed down, all the ports should line up with the I/O shield and the PCIe slots will line up with the case's slots.

 

Also, remember the I/O shield (that metal plate that surrounds your ports); it presses into the hole in the case from the inside, so it goes in first and comes out last.

 

Watch a few how-to videos before you start. This is definitely one of those things where it's easier to show than tell.
