Have you considered self building, Siu02rk? It's really not that difficult. Plus, you'll receive a great boost to your ego when you've accomplished it.
Do you have friends that are computer-building literate? You know, it's said that two heads are better than one.
Some of the sites already listed will give you a good starting point, and you'll find that most of the hardware that you purchase will come with a manual ... particularly motherboards (mainboards). The CPU (Central Processing Unit, or processor) will only fit in one way round, unless you're really heavy-handed.
Read through the sites already listed and see what you think.
Of course, if you don't feel confident enough to attempt it, wait for others to answer.

I'd look at Aria and Maplin. Aria for the computer Maplin for bits. Take a look at Misco too they have some deals right now... If you buy from Aria join the Forum and ask questions - some good guy on there will advise on over-clocking and all sorts of stuff - Maplin have modding stuff and vouchers for money off - not to mention free delivery over £35.

WWW.ebuyer.com I build custom PCs and get most of my parts from here. As to a custom case, its better to get one with all the windows etc all ready fitted as its easy to mess up a case if you not done it before and allot of effort as well. With the good gamer cases it easy to put lights and cathodes into it to get the modded look but i strongly urge you not to try to fit a window mod into a standard case. It will just look cheep and tacky.

Dell are cheap and reliable but they use Intel and don't do any AMD processors, shame really.
Ask around friends someone will be able to make one for you, or know someone who can do you one cheap.
