What steps should I follow to upgrade sqlserver 2008R2 to Sqlserver 2012? Can I build a sqlserver 2012 server and then migrate the databases?

There is extensive documentation and guidance available on MSDN about upgrading. There is also an upgrade advisor that you can/should run.

You can certainly build a SQL 2012 server and migrate the databases - typically you would do that if you were also upgrading your hardware at the same time.

Plug "upgrade sql server 2008 to 2012" into Google - there are plenty of technical documents.
