Can anyone point me in the direction of a good guide on how to build a system? I googled it, but all the guides I found are about 5 years old and not really helpful at all. I know my way around a computer, but I have never built a system from the ground up. I just want to make sure I have all of my "t"s crossed and "i"s dotted before I get in over my head. I apologize in advance if this isn't the right forum for this.

Also, any suggestions for a person with a $1000 budget (processor, vid card, ram, etc.). I will use it mostly for games and likely will only overclock the vid card.

Thanks a lot.
