If you are coming from linux or FreeBSD you may want to want to research the available desktops in OpenBSD. Although KDE4 is seeing some developmental activity, KDE 3 is what you will get in OpenBSD 5.2.
Gnome is fairly up to date thanks to a herculean effort by one of the main OpenBSD developers. Another developer is on the XFCE4 team.

is there one file that i can download and install?

Both Gnome and XFCE have meta packages that result in a working desktop.
Between Gnome/XFCE I have a sense that XFCE4 has the edge in upstream code quality.
I usually like to do the install in the default fvwm window manager with a couple of xterms open. You will get install messages to set soft links in python, enable some services (dbus and avahi) and it is nice to copy/paste some of the commands after reading the documentation.
