I find this useful when wanting to play around with my scores for point buy - it is a point buy calculator, so you can fiddle with scores if you aren't 100% sure of what you want.

Crystal Keep is a good resource to help find stuff in the books. Use the PDFs online or down load them.

Also search for SRD and D&D in Google and you can find most of the information from the books on-line.
