Very challenging for a first timer. 2nd build is usually interesting and 3rd build is just like a walk in the park. A bare set up with processor and RAM is capable of beeping once, displaying POST and opening BIOS menu. Some helpful guides:

If you're sure you are up to the task, google it. An answer to this could take pages. There are many good sites to assist you. I have bought and built many computers. The place I like best for a barebones unit is 3Btech.net Also look at tigerdirect.com For the best price comparison, try pricewatch.com
BTW- A barebones is a case, motherboard, CPU and fan. At some places you can also select RAM, DVD's, HDD's etc.
