A great way to easily install AUR packages is to use Yaourt !
See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt to install yaourt.
It works like Pacman, and it can install AUR packages :
# yaourt -S catalyst
for example ...

Standard advice (sadly, often ignored): learn to use the AUR and ABS (Arch Build System) first, then try yaourt if you still want to.

OK, but do i need to do some extra configuration, or this is it? Do i have to uninstall my old ati driver (the open source one)?

Yes, you will have to remove xf86-video-ati and also probably libgl, and possibly other packages that conflict with the catalyst driver and catalyst-utils packages. I'm not sure if there's a more elegent way to do this, but I recently switched from the Catalyst driver to the ATI driver and I did:
pacman -Rsc catalyst catalyst-utils
which uninstalled something like 10gigs worth of programs, did
pacman -S xorg xf86-video-ati
then reinstalled all my other old programs, just don't clean you're pacman cache before re-installing or you'll be downloading stuff forever.
