Know of any good (and easy to understand for a layman) resources for picking out parts? I really would like to build my own, but I'm much more savvy with software than hardware.
If you build one, decide first on the CPU/motherboard combo you want and work off that. It's not as daunting as it may seem, and you'll learn a bunch and gain confidence with your machines. Main thing is familiarizing yourself with the different ports. After then, it's all legos. I'd recommend newegg as well; their selection is top notch and I've had great experiences with them.
