3 quick notes:
-I too was a bit nervous about it, but built Father Xmas' higher end build in his signature with a few tweeks a few years back and couldn't be happier.
-In addition to New Egg, which is great; I purchased several components from my local Micro Center store. They have notoriously great processor prices and price matched online retailers. They have many US locations, but primarily in the largest cities. If you have one nearby, I recommend you stop by before you purchase any components.
-I have used my gaming computer ONLY for gaming. I don't surf the web or install any other applications on it. This has kept it running very smoothly. If you currently have a decent computer, I recommend you keep it and do the same. Both hardware (KVM) and softare (Synergy) solutions exist to help you manage them both simultaneously.
Good luck!
