Here is a good guide to read about in choosing your parts: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/7766-diy-pc/

After you have chosen your parts, go to New Builds and Planning to get advice on your parts. I would recommend PCPartpicker as this website is very useful in showing your parts to users in the forum.

The build is about 700 to 900 no more then that

Both build and parts together

Read this and answer the questions so we can help you get the most bang out of your buck: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-reccomendations-please-read-before-posting/

 

There are 3 parts to the build guide. What's nice about these videos is that there few skips there are don't skip over the actual insertion of parts when building the system. You get to see each step performed. Bear with his style of speech--some say it's annoying.

Linus also had a video in teaching you how to build your pc step by step

Although I love Linus's videos, his 'how to build' like other How To Build a PC videos doesn't show each individual screw and step unlike the one by Austin which does that and is also shorter. The video is too zoomed out. I would recommend Austin's video more for someone who wants to clearly see how a PC is actually put together in a relatively short amount of time with closeups and that show what's actually happening.
