Does anyone have a good website or reference for looking up wall and roof assembly weights? For example, how much does a 2x4 wood stud wall assembly with 1/2 gypsum weigh? Thank you.

The Trus-Joist design manual has a good table with most of the wood framed construction component weights listed. Sum the component weights for total.

It usually comes out to 10 - 15 psf.
 
There are a number of tables in the Breyer Design of Wood Structures which list the components and their weight. Also, much of that information can be found in the commentary to ASCE 7 (Chapter C3).
