Ok, I want to make my own PC, but the only thing is, I really don't know what parts to get for it. How to build it either. I'm looking for something for about $600-800, the works, tower, parts, monitor, speakers, keyboard. Pretty much everything. Can anyone help me with what I should get?

I know what i need to get, but just not the specifics, like type of video card, the motherboard that goes with the right processor, all of that.

With your price range and what you want all together , thats a pretty tough task to give you quality but here I went ahead and put a list together for you, kind of as a guide. You can adapt it to your needs, like drop the flat screen for an old school crt, maybe go with a weak pentium d.
