I am planning on building my first computer at the end of the month. I have done my research and I know what I want to get. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice.

And take it slowly when putting the hardware together, no point rushing and then screwing something up.

800-900 CAD. not including moniter.
Well, as you are getting an Athlon 64, try get 2 x 512MB DDR400 sticks, with as low latencies as you can afford, in a dual-channel configuration.
Just make sure you get a good branded PSU. I can't really explain this well, but you need to make sure you have like dual 12v rails. Someone else will probably be able to help me out here...hopefully...maybe.
