Building your own pc is actually quite easy. After you do it once its a piece of cake. Your best bet is to get your cpu from clubit (if you get a q6600) and then just use Google Product Search to find the other parts. Newegg is a good bet for most of the parts though.
Building a pc is basically just a few steps.
1) open case
2) insert power supply
3) mount motherboard
4) mount hard drives/optical drives
5) install memory on mother board
6) install cpu on motherboard
7) install heatsink on cpu
8) plug in power to everything
9) turn on and install windows
Unless you have a Tuniq Tower 120 and then you want to mount that on the Mobo before dropping it in the case.
Also, you could just go with your budget, you could think about just getting the 8800GTS now and then use the step up program to get into the 9 series. You'd be about as up to date as should/could be.
