3. Roll damage, see how much damage and how much damage is "absorbed/taken" by DR to see how much gets through. Apply damage.
That's the bare bones I'm grasping right now, though I'm unsure if it is "enough" for running a game.

If you're using Psi in place of Magic, build powers with points, and apply the Psi (-10%) Power Modifier.

I'd not worry about Step 4 starting out, but add it when your group wants the extra detail. This might occur soon into your first gaming session; you might be satisfied with only Steps 1-3 for months.
I think you'll enjoy adding (again, only when you're ready and want to) Hit Locations when the time comes. Extra Effort In Combat [B357] also provides a lot of gaming-fun: worth the additional rules-learning/FP-tracking, IMHO.
For what it's worth, I try to maintain a collection of fan made
combat cheat sheets and stuff.
Also, you might not have realized it, but
Kromm is the
GURPS line editor. That's right, your post was given personal attention by a primary author of
GURPS! How cool is that?
