Want to make my first GPU rig! Where to start?

Hey everyone! Brand new to the forums.

Been messing around and have been trying to learn as much about mining for the last month on my work-supplied 22.00 M/hash Macbook Pro Retina running bootcamp, and decided to try it out for real. I ordered a BFL 5Ghz miner but seeing as those probably wont be shipped for a few months, I wanted to make a rig to try to take another step before it comes.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on where to start with a simple build? I am an audio programmer but I have never built my own computer so I was wondering where I should start. I wanted to keep the price of the first build really low - preferably around $300, but something I can add a bunch of GPUs to later if need be. Any ideas?

Was looking at the 6870 but newegg seems to be out of stock  Embarrassed
