First build help!

Hello everyone! I am trying to get into the whole "build your own computer" scene and have been lurking these forums for some time. I wanted to ask the community about recommendations for a 1st time build.

So pretty much I have of a budget of around 800 and want a machine used primarily for everyday use and gaming. (Games include starcraft 2, HON, looking foward to diablo 3, but no games at the caliber of crysis, lol. I would like to run the games I'm currently playing on relatively high settings) I'm not too sure about the distinction between intel/AMD but a friend told me intel is better for everyday things. I would also prefer the computer to have some life on it. (aka spending a little more on a graphics card that wont become outdated so fast isn't an issue)

Anyways, I guess difficulty of set up is not really an issue for me. I have a friend who is a computer enthusiast who enjoys building computers.

Thanks in advance for all the help!
