Depends on what you're going to use the computer for. Gaming? Business?
How much do you plan on spending?
These are important details that are needed to solve your question.

To build ur own, get a GENERIC case that handles an ATX form factor motherboard. Then get a power supply that is a minimun 350 Watts and has a P4 power plug in and main power that fits your motherboard ( 20 or 24 pin ) or adaptor.
Then go for the motherboard/processor/ram that meets your needs.

As in building a fast car, how much speed you want depends on how much money you can afford to spend. Building it yourself is a step in the right direction. First, decide what your application is going to be. High end gaming? Prepare to spend some bucks on a good MOBO, processor, memory and video card. A fast processor is of more use when you have a fast FSB speed. Start with this and when you know what you are shooting for in your PC, you will have a foundation to build on.
Follows are some helpful links...have fun and good luck.

If you are going AMD, get an ASUS motherboard. stick with the Socket 939 chipset. AM2 is nice, but the advatanges are questionable. With the Socket 939 you can get any AMD processor from Sempron to FX-53. WHatever your budget allows.
As for Intel. I recommend sticking with Intel brand motherboards, because of stability. Intel is constantly switching chipsets, so I cannot tell you which one is the best. However, make a Core Duo the minimum processor that you buy.

Well, the thing is, the mobo and proc depend on the type of PC you're going to want to build and how much $$ your willing to spend.
And by the type of PC, i mean, is this going to be a standard PC? Or for Video Editing? Music Editing? Media Center?
There is too much leeway in all those, and that's just the beginning. Visit http://www.etremetech.com They have a Build It section that has step by step info on how to build diff systems, such as a high end PC, a sub $800 gaming PC, a media center PC and others.
Hope that helps.

well you need to make sure your motherboard matches your ram, so check on that first.

they have computer parts, i have my gaming computer and im using a asus mother board that is capable of using the dual core AMD processors. depending on your price range and what you are going to use it for you can build a computer using a single core for a affordable price or you can use dual core for gaming.

there is so many different models and types of processors eg socket 478, 934, socket a etc etc, and so many different types of motherboards. i would advise reading http://www.tomshardware.com
since this contains all the info on pc parts and how to install them, since building a machine for the first is very complex and knowing about the parts its even more tricky.
