Sorry to read that you're having so many problems. I used to build computers and I'm sure the principles are the same just haven't done it in a LONG time. I bought a pre-built (HP) and basically have just replaced things as I saw fit (put in new video card, power supply, etc).
I can't really contribute anything that hasn't already been said or mused over but sorry you had lost everything, it's always an awful experience. :(
Oh and I'm a luddite too. I always wind back up on XP and actually pleased about it.
