Of course we'll help you.
Start with :

When you have a basic grasp, start looking for components and keep us posted.
New Egg and Tiger Direct are popular places to find components.

Hi, Maydhyam. I'm absolutely new on the forum so keep that in mind. Also, I'm a biologist, computers are only my passion. My son builds computers and I'm the backroom person ordering and double checking compatibility. First thing that you may want to do is to decide what you want the computer to do when you are finished. My son is a gamer (heavy MMorpg's) which may bring up another limiting factor; how big is your wallet.... Anyway, once you've decided the function then you can decide if you want a function case or a pimped out one. Happily, there are just a limited # of components that go into making the computer, a fair amount of quiet contemplation when it comes to making the connections, and given that you've paid close attention to compatibility you should have great success. Hope you don't mind the lenthy post and remember I'm a newbie but we have several computers under our belts and aside from a certain amount of frustration here and there (and crossed fingers now and again) it's been great fun. Best Wishes.

Thanks for that information Liisa, it is well appreciated...I am still trying to put together the purpose of the computer (because my mom, little sister, and big brother wants to use it too...lol)...but with work and all....*sigh*....after which I'll let you all know my intentions, and I could move on from there...
