Help and tips....

Right.... My old machine's Mobo has just quit, and seeing the whole system will be three years old in October I have a green light from the better half to upgrade the lot! I am toying with the idea of having a crack at building my own system from scratch. I did small upgrades (more RAM and new GPU) to my old system but have never started from scratch or known what that means or entails. I have a relatively new 32 inch moniter, keyboard and mouse so it is just the "box"to upgrade.

Anyone know good sites to have a look at? Where can I get reliable info from re parts etc.  My budget will be around $3000 so I should be able to do something special with that, but am in no hurry to get started... just deciding where to start. Someone suggested I wait 6 months for the new intel chips.... I just don't know. Should I 'have a crack' or go and find someone to source and build for me?  In the meantime, its FTX/FSX on the lappie! :)
