Well,

You certainly are starting with a bang. Nice gear. It may be best for someone to come by and assist you as you set everything up. Where do you live?

Here is a guide from Monster Cable website.
http://www.monstercable.com/hookup_learning/csg/
Usually your amp or preamp manual would come with a hook up diagram.
Your sources connect to your preamp, your preamp connects to your amp and your speakers connect to your amp. Pretty basic. No right or wrong way.
Powering up and down the system has a right and wrong way. You power up from the source side first, or from preamp to amp with a few seconds between to allow the preamp delay circuit (if any) to switch out. Other wise you may get a big thump from your speakers. And on powering off the system, start by turning off the amp first, wait a few seconds, then preamp.
