How to build a bike?

Hi
I'm new to the world of bike building but have a basic understanding of how everything fits together having done some maintenance on my current bikes. Regardless of that, I've got a plan for the winter which is:
1. get a 1980's road bike steel frame that fits me
2. build a single-speed.
I've got a lot to learn about where to get parts, how much I should expect to pay for them, ...... Anyone out there willing to give me some advice?
 
First I'd have a mooch about on here and look at build threads. All pretty simple if you know your way around a bike.
 
Re:

It pretty much depends on how much you want to spend when a new single speed bike can be bought for less than £300.
 
YouTube and retrobike should get you all the info you need. A knowledgeable friend is the best though :)
