How do you get started learning what goes with what and how to make it all work. Like i know how to install a vid card but how do you make a computer from scratch and do cmos and stuff.
First, it definitely helps if you know your hardware. Learn as many terms as possible and know what they are. CPU, GPU, PSU, etc. Also, just dealing with the CPU and GPU alone; AM2, AM2+, LGA 775, etc, PCI, PCI-E x16, AGP 4x, 8x, etc. It may all seem a bit daunting at first, but as you do more research, it gets much easier. And remember, you can always come here for help. And just know that the internet is full of guides that can help you.
read read read. there's lots of info out there. check out tomshardware.com i think there's a lot of info there for builders, plus cpu/gpu comparisons, etc...

Also there are all kinds of magizines you can read i suggest you find the one called.Pc building bible 2006,it maybe old but it has all the tech definitions that you need to know about also,use wikipedia,ask.com and google,those will definately help you.
The motherboard and PSU manuals tell and show you everything you need to know. Knowing what order to do things in is something you should research though, as if you do certain things first and others later, you'll end up having to go backwards in terms of things fitting and getting your hands around components.
