Default Newbie building computer pc again

Hey it's been 4 years since my first computer which was a P4 3.0 GHZ , 1gb ram, 110gb of space, radeon 9500 graphics card. My computer is still good for it's age but has a lot of viruses and bad sound card. I just started to play World of Warcraft and planning to get a decent gaming computer. I heard intel dual core is better than amd dual core? My budge is around <$700 without monitor. Any websites that is worthing checking out? or should i just build my own at new egg. If i do a list of what i should get would be nice.
Thanx.

hey i just wondering what if when i put together all those parts and the computer doesn't function right. Because sometimes it happened to all my friends self build computers. I know that a manufactuer computer such as dell have less problems and also have warranty. What makes a self built computer function wrong or doesn't go optium level as it can go?
