I'm researching building a new desktop but it's been since 2003 since I did that last with a Pentium 4. What's the latest these days?

Is ATX still the main form factor for enclosures and whatnot?
What are power supplies using for plugs if Molex isn't the thing anymore?
Is PCI-E the typical video card receptacle?
What processor(s) is/are the greatest these days and what socket are they?
What's the latest RAM?

What else am I missing? I know my Surface Pro 3 is an i5 and all that but I obviously didn't build it...
