It's been a while since I've looked at computer hardware with any sort of regularity (to give you an idea, the last part I bought was a 6600GT). I've bought laptops over the past couple of years and thus haven't really kept up with desktop hardware since in general your options are more limited and you can't upgrade or customize them as much.

However, I'm looking to get a desktop over the next couple of months so would like to get some of my know-how back - are there any resources that outline the current technologies? I'm fairly well-versed in basic knowledge, so I don't need anything too basic, but I'm clueless as to modern CPU/GPU performance, new features and such. I've tried going over AT but I just feel like I'm far too out of it to gain anything, so anything you guys could point me to would be really helpful.

Read through these forums.
There's tons of good information contained in them.
Some sifting required.
