Wondering what I would need?

Ok so I've been reading up on DIY telescopes for years and I think I'm going to go for it. I would like to be able to see clear detailed views of things like Saturn, Mars and some of the other galaxies and nebula's. What size mirror would be needed for something like this? While this is my first DIY telescope I am quite crafty and build lots of other DIY things. I learn fast and I'm not afraid to take time and do things slowly and accurately. So I know you'll probably recommend something like a 6" because I'm a beginner but I would really rather do something bigger as I'm not going to rush it. I would also like to eventually build some sort of CCD module to mount to the scope and take pictures as well. Not sure if this has any effect on the size of mirror I would like?
