Installing a motherboard is not very hard. Its just a matter of unscrewing a couple screws here and there. (Youll need torx bits btw)

1: Take your case apart untill your down to the metal casing
2: Unplug the dvd drive (power cable +sata cable)
3: Remove dvd drive
4: Unplug fan
5: Remove fan
6: Unscrew the screws under the metal casing
7: SLOWLY take it out
8: SLOWLY place your new one in
9: Repeat steps 6-1 in reverse (after you make your dvd drive work with your new mobo)

In regards to purchasing a motherboard with a dvd key.
-Yes, you can buy a new mobo with a dvd key and flash it to your dvd drive. This will make it work.

In regards to ntsc mobo on a pal machine
-no idea
