Most computers come with a mouse and keyboard, although not necessarily high quality. But you could use both until you decide you want something else. It's not like they wouldn't work, they just might not be as comfortable to use.
Assembly for a prebuilt computer is pretty straightforward. Plug the keyboard into the back of the computer, the mouse can often be plugged into the keyboard (if it has a passthrough), mount the stand on the monitor, plug the monitor into the wall and into the graphics card (specifically the graphics card, not the motherboard; ask if you're not sure), and plug in the computer. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes, and the monitor shouldn't require more than a basic screwdriver to assemble, or it might even come with the one you'd need.
It's also a good idea to look inside the computer's case to see whether there's any packing material to cushion the components. That definitely has to come out before you turn it on.
