I'd like to build my own desktop but i don't have any experience with doing so. I don't have much knowledge on what parts i exactly need. Black Friday is coming up and I figured now would be a good time to do it. I have a budget of about $700, where do i get started? Any recommended builds? where do I get the parts for cheap?
First time building my own PC, need help

Well, to get parts online and configure a good system, I recommend you go to PcPartPicker. There it takes you step by step of what you need to put into a PC. And it adapts to what you've chosen so that parts are guaranteed to be compatible. A great build for your budget would be this one here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/26d57
It has great power and will last quite a long time. You can also modify the parts list if you wish to get a feel for the website and maybe make it cheaper for you.
Enjoy!

I would check out pcpartpicker.com , it's a site you can use to create and save builds and it finds the lowest prices for the parts you want. If you need some inspiration check out the build your own section here. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-a-pc-fx-6300-overclocking,3617.html
