What are all the parts I am going to need to build a gaming PC?

I have never really done this before. I have taken computers apart and put them back together. I have switched out parts from computer to computer. But I have never actually built a PC. Needless to say, this is a learning experience and a fun way I figured to blow off a $1500 bonus from work. Here is the kind of gaming computer I would like.

I want to be able to play games like Kill-Zone, so I need a computer that can handle the graphics.
However, I also want to be able to play old games from 2003-2006 (If I need to rip out parts from older computers I will).
I also like to download a lot of things on my computer. Like, a lot!
I also like to multitask.
That's about it.

Answer
Ok. List.
Graphics- Radeon 7600 Series.
Motherboard-AMD Radeon 7690.
Tradition cables.
Intel Quad Core Prosceesor, 2012 version.
A decen fan system.
For the casing. I'd go with a dell case.
Sony 2013 Disk Drive All Purpose
Chrome Browser.
An alienware monitor if you can find one.
If not the above. Go with a Dell 2012 24-25" LCD monitor.
Windows 7

What computer parts do I need to build one myself?

Alvin

If you can give me suggestions & information about the gaming computer spec i have below that I want to build myself. PLEASE, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND OPINIONS!!!

This is what I have in mind:

Case: Reasonable Price on a Full Tower

Processor: Intel® Core⢠i7 4820K Processor (4x 3.70GHz/10MB L3 Cache)
(TBH, something at least 3.0+ghz or what do you guys recommend)

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 -- 4x PCI-E 2.0 x16
(I wanted something that can do up to 3-SLI/3 Graphic cards for future purposes or to hear your opinions)

ram: 16GB 2x8GB DDR3-2133 Memory Module
(I really would like to stick to 8GB Sticks only, would love you hear your opinions and does it make any difference on brand?)

graphic card: GeForce GTX 760 Ti (OEM)
(I was gonna buy one now, and in a year or two later I can buy more if my graphic card cant support the game, am I doing this right to save money and to keep it up to date with future games?)

Fan: I REALLY DO NEED HELP, TRYING TO AVOID LIQUID COOLER?
(I REALLY NEED HELP HERE)

Hard Drive: 500GB at least
(I've been looking into SSD, but they are so expensive for 500gb...
I also read that it's good for gaming? But it only makes a difference in the loading screen not game play.. if someone knows anything about it? Thanks)

CD/DVD: Some Random reason price one with blue ray
(Any recommendation?)

Wifi/Bluetooth: Any some reasonable quality internal thing.
(Any recommendation?)

Media Card: Internal Media card reader
(Any recommendation?)

power supply: some kind of 1200 waltz power supply
(I dont know if any brand or stuff makes a big difference...)


PLEASE, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND OPINIONS!!!
This is my first time...The only website I know of is newegg.com and if anyone knows a really detailed guide.
thank you!

Answer
What are you going to do with it? I hope not only gaming?

SSD's are only good for acces/transfer times.. so it will only help at loading times but ofcourse not in the actual gameplay. It will also help to keep windows snappy and boot it up fast. Just get a 120GB disk to put windows+programs on it plus a 1 or 2 tb hard drive.
Bluray drives are expensive and useless.. it's 2013 and optical media are dead. A DVD player might be useful only for drivers and os installation.

And in my opinion: Don't go for multiple videocards. Selling the old graphics card and buying a single new one is in my opinion almost always a better option. That way you get less heat, newer technology and no need for expensive psu's and motherboards.
