Given your admitted lack of experience, the most important part of this process will be research.

Forget picking a CPU first...the most important decision is the platform, i.e. the motherboard.
Look for the features you want (SATA II, RAID, SLI, sound, network, etc.), then decide what CPU fits that platform and your budget.

The rest will fall into place from there.
