I've been building computers since the 80's, it's really very easy to do. The best place to buy your computer parts is New Egg ->http://www.newegg.com/

Great service as well as great prices.

I build all my computers but I get the parts from various places. I use pricewatch.com to get low prices available at the time for hardware. If I build a Windows box then I look for an OEM version of the OS other wise if I build a server I usually use Linux Fedora Core which is free.

Or just call Dell. They'll build it for you and you have none of the hassel, plus 24 hour tech support.

I've been building my own and my kid's pc's for years also. You can usually build a "buckle your seat belt" pc for about $700.00 which sounds expensive, but a truly comparable pc pans out to be 2 to 3 times that.
