>>OMG, I think I'm gonna throw up
You have no idea how many of us were just like you man. A month ago I was so overwhelmed with decisions I had no idea what to do.
But now I know pretty much all I need to know in order to make a good purchase and actually understand what items I need for each piece of equipment.
The more you read, the more you'll feel less overwhelmed.
Look at it like a hobby, like you're just getting into it and want to learn all there is to learn. Also never forget that the people on this board are EXTREAMLY kind, they helped me calm down more than once. Don't feel shy to ask what you think are "stupid" questions.
There is no such thing as a stupid question! (regarding electronics...
)
