So a while ago I bought a new laptop:

But now I think it's time to learn how to build a desktop. Never done it before, I've only ever owned laptops so it's completely new to me. However the laptop I have now has become nothing more than something that sits on my table. Never has it once left the house or been ran on the battery.
So I'm looking at building something in the $700-$800 region. Something that'll be perfect for future upgrades, lots of room to work with, size/power consumption isn't an issue. Doesn't need to look fancy with a bunch of flashing lights. Will definitely be going with a SSD with a regular HDD in there too. As for the spec I'm kind of clueless. 2GB graphics card over a 1GB for sure. 16GB ram. But as for the case, powersupply, motherboard and everything else I've obviously forgotten I'm cluless.
I'll primarily be using www.newegg.com and keeping an eye out for really good deals which they tend to have, I'll probably wait around untill I can get good deals on items rather thanjust buying it all in one go.
Also need a 17"ish decent monitor.
Any advice on where to start or anything else would be great!
