I would like to build myself a server, but i have never done it before and i dont have much knowledge as to what parts make a good server. ive build a computer before, and i do have a good bank of knowledge in that, so i guess i just need assistance on what parts to get. I would like to stay around $750 if possible....please note that i dont need a monitor, case, keyboard, or mouse.

what do i need to buy? im thinking:

Processor: Dual core s939? theyre reasonably priced
Motherboard: no clue, something that matches my processor and holds a bunch of ram
Vid Card: something cheap, maybe onboard if the mobo has it
RAM: 2gb, do i need registered?
HDD's: raptor for os and several large drives
RAID Card?

im really clueless here, so some help would be nice.
 
First we really need to know what you will be doing with it. File server, folding box, etc. What are your plans for it. Start with that and we can shoot you in the right direction.
