Exclamation building a computer from nothing: all help needed!!

the other post i made was kinda usless, but last night i was talking to ctcoyote who was very helpful, telling me that i should should not upgrade the crap out of my old compaq presario http://img.shopping.com/cctool/PrdIm...4/20117716.JPG
with putting new harddrives in it, processer, burner EXT. it would be way to much for the computer.

i was talking to my dad last night and he said buying a new one thats already made is what we should do. but the computer that we will buy wont be the GREATEST ( no HUGE gb EXT EXT)

i want to build a computer from the ground up and i beilive that it would be cheaper correct?

just getting a case and put stuff into it. ctcoyote said that the new hardrives and processers ext wont fit into the compaq i have cause of the old age.

and because i want a real nice fast huge storage computer and i WANT to learn how computers work by building one up, i want ot buy individual parts and build one THIS COMPUTER IS NOT FOR GAMING, FOR EDITING VIDEOS AND STORING VIDEOS

i know that there are websites that you can build it , but that wont solve the price issue

but if i do this from scratch, itll be kinda tough for me cause i need to buy EVERYTHING, every wire, all the hardware ( screws and stuff like that )

is there a COMPUTER BUILDING LIST out there that says what to buy? every single part?

i really need help on this one cause im not to smart about this stuff, im new
i just want a fast ass computer, huge storage EXT for very cheap

thanks
