Need help building a gaming pc

[Iamdivinity]

Okay so first off i'm 16. And i've been really really wanting a new gaming pc for 3 years now. I thought i knew a lot about computers and parts until i started actually looking for a computer to buy. Then while looking through reviews on different desktops i always see the same comments "build your own its cheaper and you can build a better rig" i would love to build my own i've changed parts on my old computer quite a few times so i think i could handle building my own I have a $2500 budget an i need everything including a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I'll be using it mostly for gaming world of warcraft, and Diablo 3 and the occasional school work. If anyone can give me help on building one and explaining the parts to me it would be super greatly appreciated
