build your own PC. You will save several hundred bucks.

Did you build yours? Any tips if you did?

Problem is, I have very little knowledge about individual components and can't tell whats a quality part, what is compatible and what isn't.  So I'd basically be ordering the parts listed for pre-built computers and assembling them myself. 

I would definitely prefer to save a few hundred that I could spend on a new monitor (I've got an ancient LCD), but I am having problems even putting together a comprehensive list of what I need.  Kinda seems like a lot of work =/

Got mine for around 700€ (~$950) about half a year ago.

Newegg prices are much cheaper than anything here in Europe, so you really shouldn't pay more than $1000 for a PC that will easily outperform mine.
