No offense, but if you don't even know what the common terminology for computer parts are, then you have no business building a computer. Especially if you don't even know what you're looking for...
However, if you're truly determined, then I suggest learning about computer first. Google around, read articles, books, and other informational sources.

As an example:
I knew little about the topic, but was fed up with the performance of my PC, I took two books out of the library, google'd and spoke to people over IRC. I learnt alot and have since upgraded, repaired, and am getting another upgrade on this PC.
Do read around first.
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Better quality hardware, cheaper prices, better support, better shipping, better deals, and a more trusted vendor.
