We're in the process of making a build your own computer tutorial in three sections. Selecting parts, assembling, and OS installation and optimization (as I recall). We've been slow on this, but I'll try to get some progress made as there is demand for it.



P5K-E / E8400 @ 4.0 / 2GB Hyper-X DDR2 / 7800GT / Antec900 / Scythe Ninja Copper (soon to be custom h2o)
P5W DH Deluxe / E7200 @ 3.8 / 2GB Ballistix DDR2-800 / 7600GT (passive) / P180B / Zalman Reserator V2

In the mean time, if U ever hear anything you dont know what it is, for example. (I do not know the extent of your knowledge, so I'll take something that is common) BIOS, you can go to Answers.com and check the "technology" or "computer hardware" section.
http://www.answers.com/BIOS
In this case there are several things, (set of routines) and (computer).
You can read both, as they have a similar meaning, but click the (computer) related one,
http://www.answers.com/topic/bios-co...n-encyclopedia

ps: answers.com is the best ever. I use it probably 5-10 times a day for anything I need to know, be it computer or else related.

As always, if you have question on anything, ASK!
The HardwareLogic Tech Glossary is always a good resource too.
We'll turn you into a computer guru before you know it!

I am in the process of building 3 computers right now. Would you like for me to put together a step by step build?
