How to startKDE [SOLVED]

So far i have installed the base packages, and have installed KDE by entering

pacman -Sy KDE

and i am able to get to it, however i have to type

startx

and then it enters the default desktop environment, which i think is windowsbox or windowmanager or something like that. It is very basic and it has turquoise menu bars. I want KDE to start up without having to go into the other environement. How to i get KDE to start when i type

startx

rather than the default environment?

add exec startkde in ~.xinitrc and comment out the default.
