I am going to build a new computer and don't want to install/buy Windows as the OS. I'd like to install the latest version of Ubuntu. Is this possible or will still need to have a copy of Windows? And if it's possible do I just follow the Ubuntu installation guide as normal?

Certainly. Just download the version (and flavor - Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc) that you want. Check the MD5Sum https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM Burn the ISO to a CD or flash drive at the lowest speed possible. Boot from the result and try all the applications before you install. If everything works choose to install.

Ubuntu is an operating system. It replaces other operating systems like Windows. So no, there is no need for Windows prior to installing Ubuntu.
