Hi Happy, Some advice for you, Be careful while buying chips if you want to burn the Arduino Uno boot loader do by a ATmega328P-PU NOT a ATmega328-PU ther is no physical difference in those but Arduino Uno boot loader will not install in the ATmega328-PU, second advise you will need a operational Arduino to put the boot loader on the empty chip, or other AVR programmers, but the Arduino method is easier, Once the boot loader is installed you can programme your chip via any usb to serial converter..
