Complete newbie : (

I have tried searching around for info but i am still extremely confused.
I just purchased a LG Optimus V today and while i like the phone, i've read that custom roms can make it perform faster and i would like to install a custom rom onto my device. I know that i will need to root my device but i am unclean on the best way to do this and how i should install the custom rom after rooting. Any help would be appreciated.

Also you need to make sure that you have the Optimus V USB drivers installed.

The ROMTools i linked automatically installs the USB drivers, assuming the user downloads the package that includes the drivers.
