I just got my S3 on Monday, my first Android device.
I followed the same tutorial defnow provided, specifically, the clockworkmod one. I also have chosen diet rom as my rom to use from all the praise given from this community.
And yes, you have to root, the order you should do it in is
1. root
2. clockworkmod
3. flash your Diet rom.

Hope I helped!

+1^^^ Also, usually when you flash a rom you should wipe your data before flashing. This holds true for most roms.

I just graduated from an Atrix 4G to the Galaxy S3 today. AT&T - Garnet Red variety. So far...absolutely loving the phone. Rather close group of friends and I from my work are quite enthusiast when it comes to rooting and flashing custom roms and the like. Several of my friends own Galaxy Notes. But coming from an extensive learning romp from my Atrix - which I beat to death and rom-flipped about 9 thousand (and one) times a week. I can vouch for everyones comments that you should always tread carefully once you venture into the realm of Custom ROMs. I only soft-bricked my Atrix once...and I recovered from it rather gracefully (Read: Clumsily). Just keep your head on straight and don't freak out. Accidents are bound to happen, and if you follow the guides and faq's you should be able to enjoy yourself and enjoy the wonders of custom roms without too much fear of turning you beautiful S3 into a brick.

Welcome to the android world! A few years ago I was like you. As everyone has stated above read and then enjoy choosing what YOU want on your phone. I never looked back and I'm sure you won't either.
Lots of help in these forums. Just read about what to do first before jumping in.
Good luck and enjoy your SGSIII:thumbup:
