Yes, read up on everything. It's always good to know what you're buying, and why. An informed consumer is a smart one.

tom's hardware and anandtech are 2 well respected hardware sites. Lots of good info over at the atomicmpc forums as well (www.atomicmpc.com.au).

edit: I forgot to mention go a 64 bit operating system. Windows 7 is shaping up to be very nice by all accounts, although there's nothing wrong with Vista imho. If you lived in Brissie I'd have happily helped you put a PC together.
