How do i change the colour of the Windows?

Hi all, hows it going?

Just a few questions, as I am pretty new to computing in general these questions may seem like a joke, but I am not taking the micky.

1. 1, How do you change the colour of the border (the top bar with the minimise, restore, and close buttons on)? I want them the same colour as windows media player 11, all jet black and shiny.
2. 2.As far as building is concerned, I am going to start building my first P.C. within a month and I am wondering where to start;

• which motherboard to go for and the type of CPU (athlon, I'm a gamer) but is dual core worth it? what type of graphics card, and what type of HD and ram.

As I want to start playing X3, and when it comes out X4 (online) I'd like the set up to be very fast and still upgradable but affordable at the same time.

Could you please point me in the right direction?
