Check out the beginner's guide and the KDE section of the wiki, at least.

Longer answer: You've obviously not done much research, you don't even seem to know what exactly you installed, nor what they're used for. More research is a must if you want to use Arch without feeling suicidal.

How do you start KDE?

IIRC you should have

exec ck-launch-session startkde

in your ~/.xinitrc.
