I may come back and edit this if I mess something up, but I'll try to be as granular as possible and give links because I sure wish I would have had someone help me when I was building this. I will say this, I looked for these items over time and waited until I found good deals.
Case:[ Corsaire Air 540] (http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-Series-Airflow-CC-9011030-WW/dp/B00D6GINF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421547180&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+air+540) - This is a large case. However, I have built many PC's and this is the best case I've ever used. All of your cables are hidden, so you have a very clean build with very easy access.
Proc: i7 4790K - I got this on sale for $279. Although I don't need to, I can very easily use the ASRock to overclock to 4.5 ghz straight from the OS.
Video: EVGA GTX 760 SC (I got this at Microcenter for $230.00) - As mentioned, I run three 1900x1200 montors with this. For games - I can run anything (to date) at 1900x1200 on ultra when the Proc os overclocked, unless it is just coded crappy. Lately I'be been playing ESO and Wildstar, but I've also done Bioshock Infinite and The Vanashing of Ethan Carter (beautiful game) as well.
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Elite 16gb - See my comment below on ram.
Motherboard: ASRock z97 Motherboard - Believe it or not, I got this for $86 at Microcenter.
Firewire Card: Syba FW Card with TI Chipset - This is low profile, but comes with a full size bracket. Works great with the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40.
OS: Windows 8.1 Professional
PT Version: PT11 (Latest Build)
Audio Interface: Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 - Make sure you get the latest software for this and run PT as administrator. I had to do this before the Midi would work right through the Saffire.
Proc Cooling: Corsair Hydro 105 - Do your research. There are a lot of cooling options. I had this in a separate machine and really like it.
Case Fans: Corsair Air Series AF140 LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fans - One again, there are a lot of options with fans. These matched my case and are relatively quiet. Iknow the Noctua stuff is really awesome too.
Power Supply: Corsair HX850 - This might be overkill. I got this because I game some on this system and figured I would add another GTX 760 at some point. Also, not sure you need the HX. You might be able to go with a lower end PSU.
Video Monitors: Two of these are Lenova which I already had and are not included in the build price. The other, I just got and it beats the Lenovos significantly. It is an ASUS PA248Q 24-Inch LED-Lit IPS Professional Graphics Monitor. I use these large monitors because my eyes are bad from years of IT work, staring into monitors. Imagine that. This would be overkill for many as they take up a lot of space.
HD1: Crucial MX100 512 gb SSD. Everybody gets Samsung, and even I have one in my purchased gaming rig. However, before you do that, read this review from Tom's Hardware on the MX100. I'm completely sold on this SSD. I got this for $180 on a Newegg sale.
HD2: [Seagate 3tb 7200](Seagate Desktop 3 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 7200 RPM 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST3000DM001) - It is a platter HD I put my sessions on, nothing more. I've never seen a slow down.
A couple of other notes.
If you have anymore questions let me know. I had this info an a word doc from when I was planning - so I'm glad I was able to pass it on. I hope this helps.
Like others said, the 100 and 110 courseware is a good start.
Here's another one. Very good, and unlike the courseware it is post-production specific. It was part of an Advanced Post Production class I took.

I ended up buying this! It looks well built and small plus I like the coloring of it. The only wonky thing is the joystick; apparently it's only useable as a mouse! Super weird right? Anyway I'll try to see if I can give you a review of it in a little bit.
Don't overthink it. And don't overspend. Just get something like this.

I have used USB 2.0, FW800, and USB 3.0 drives running both 5400 and 7200 rpms. The transfer protocol is much more important than the rotation speed. If you have USB 3.0, you are halfway to thunderbolt, and the other half won't make a difference. I can't say I've ever used an external SSD, but honestly, how much do you want to spend on external storage?
If it were me, I would get the drive I linked to, or a similar desktop version, and then buy a second, larger desktop version to do Time Machine backups of both the computer and the audio drive.

This one is my lowest price option that I'm looking at. Would it be a good idea to go for this one and buy RAM afterwards, or should I go for a model with 8gb of RAM already installed? Basically I'm setting out several options, a cheapest option and an ideal option and some inbetweeners, and I'm trying to get a handle on how low I can go before it becomes problematic. Thanks so much for your guys' help by the way!
honestly its worth it to buy a ilok, lots of plugins still require it, and GC dose price matching (as you know) so you can get it for $30:https://www.amazon.com/PACE-Software-Authorization-Device-99007120900/dp/B01M34E5G4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543286467&sr=8-1&keywords=ilok
This new MIDI controller connects to the computer with a USB like one of these cords below:

I am using a Alienware laptop from 2015ish. I'm assuming I have the newest version of Pro Tools First since I only downloaded a few days ago.
Also what is ASIO and why do people keep talking about it?
Also thank you for responding.
You can probably try to find an Mbox Micro. If it's just editing, and no recording this would probably be pretty good.
Yeah, I found both of them on Amazon for 60CAD (iLok 2, iLok 3), I just don't really know if theres a difference between the two. Does it matter which one I buy? I don't want to have to buy an iLok 3 a year from now if I buy an iLok 2 now.
In some stores, yes. If Amazon is more convenient, see here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M34E5G4/

There's a lot of simple USB/Midi interfaces on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/FORE-Interface-Professional-Keyboard-Converter/dp/B07SFCLNZ5/

I have a hillbilly modem and it works just fine. I don't know what you people are going on about. 28.8k all day baby.
The only problem is you need the USB to RJ-11 adapter
Edit. Wait, I think a hillbilly modem is only 9600 baud so mine doesn't qualify.
