How do I build a good budget gaming computer?

I plan to build a gaming computer for the first time but I don't know where to start. My budget will be about $1200 and I really want to get the best bang for my buck, with good upgradability and able to play the latest games with relative ease. I was think about getting an i7 processor but when I looked on wikipedia (Generally not the best place for information, I know.) it listed a few different versions of the exact same processor, but released at different times. Is that kind of like what they did with the XBox 360 where they changed the processor around slightly on the newer models but it's still basically the same? I'm getting off track now but the basic question is what should I look for without breaking the bank?
