I just picked up this $10 magazine tonight. It's got to be the coolest little thing I have bought in a while, and it really dives deep into what you need to know to get started and what to buy. It's broken up into sections concerning each part of a PC and focuses on gaming in particular. It even has a step by step guide to assembling a computer, with great pictures. I'm going to be using it this week when my components finally arrive. The only drawback is I believe it was written a few months back as it say's "Display till June 20th 2006 " but still, the process is still the same.
Reason I'm sharing this is I recommend the newer people to this hobby to pick it up because it's material and can be easily flipped back and forth through (and sometimes these forums simply aren't accesible if you're tinkering)...
