Newegg's 3 part series on building a computer should help.

Start with Part 2. Part 1 deals with component selection.

This is also pretty good:
Build it yourself:

And although this primarily a troubleshooting thread, the first part contains a checklist that will catch most noob mistakes:

And I recommend breadboarding a new build:

It doesn't take long, and it lets you test your parts before you install them in the case.
