I was planning on building a computer for the first time, but I am not sure what parts to get (Assume that I am a complete noob at this because I am). I wanted to build a gaming PC. I will probably be playing games like Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Fallout 3, and Team Fortress. I was looking at another thread and I got a list of possible parts I could get. My range is around $1000, but I can go a little higher. Here's the list:

I have never built one so I also do not know exactly how to put it together. What would be the best way to learn?
Also, I already have a monitor. Samsung SyncMaster B2330 HD 23-inch, 1920 x 1080.
Thanks for all of your help.
P.S. Here is the other thread I was looking at:

I was just wondering how other people thought of this build and whether they would recommend other things.
