New egg is good, also I use Tiger direct(as they have a physical store near me). But possibly more important for self builds than the store you get it from is the brand you buy. Just remember that to a certain degree with computer parts you get what you pay for in self builds (so if there are 6 brands and two cost 1/4 the price, I probably wouldn't recommend those unless it is a black Friday sale or something XD )
A couple tips I would have is to build around your motherboard/CPU as those are the two parts that will need to be specifically compatible. (the CPU pin # has to match what the MB supports or you just wasted between $150-$1000)
Ram is a little more easy to work with as most MBs will have the latest slots, but it's always good to check.
Video card: triple check you slot type before you buy. Your MB will likely have a couple free card slots(better MBs may have alot more) Pick the one that best suits your needs and then find the graphics card that uses that slot. (also, graphics card companies websites do a decent job of helping you decided which card is right for you.)
IMPORTANT!
Power supply: Plan your system out ahead of time and check how much power you will need. I personally recommend a 500-700wat power supply(ps) Unless you are planing to use alot of power heavy fans/cards you shouldn't need more than 700wats. (but again check just to be sure.)
aside from that, there will be a Motherboard size (Full ATX, ATX, mini ATX etc.) make sure your case supports your MB size, or you will have alot of fun trying to make it fit XD
if there is anything else I can help with let me know ^.^ I may be a little rusty, but I can usually figure most things out with a little quick refresher Google search.
