Built my own for the first time a couple of years back. Did my homework, bought exactly what I wanted. Went together using I think only a phillips screwdriver so ya don't need any specialized tools. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was having some doubt before I started having never done it. I'll never buy a "store bought" PC again. It was too easy and way cheaper. Seriously. Give it a shot. Start looking for stuff over at Newegg. They have everything and at least it'll give you a good idea of what stuff costs. Tons of user reviews on there too so if you're thinking about a certain item because the price is right you might find it actually sucks. Good to learn from other's mistakes.  ;)

Look for 8 Gb ram.  1 Tb hard drives aren't much more expensive than that 500 Gb you list.  Don't go cheap on the power suppl y.  Scuzzy has spoken highly of seasonic.  They also make some that get stamped with other names, you can find which ones by searching.  I would think you should look for a Cpu that is better than 2.8 ghz.  I don't know where you live, but the in store price at microcenter for an i5 3750k and asrock extreme4 z77 motherboard is $189 for the Cpu and $94 for the Mb.  The combo is cheaper than the 2 parts you listed and give you 3.4ghz before overclocking.  A website called pcpartpicker.com lets you look up different components and their prices on different websites including newegg and amazon.  Others with far more expertise than I will chime in, but I bet you can do better for not a lot more.  Oh, don't know why that says Core i7 System when it is last year's i5.
