Hey everyone, I'm completely new to the world of PC building and honestly have no idea what's inside a computer. Can someone break down all the essential components I'll need to build my first PC? Thanks!

You'll need several key parts for your PC build: a CPU, a heatsink or fan, a motherboard, RAM, a graphics card (GPU), an M.2 SSD for storage, a case to hold everything, and a power supply unit (PSU). Think of it like putting together a Lego set—each piece fits together in a specific way!
Visit PCPartPicker to see a comprehensive list of parts. You can select each component based on your needs, like the CPU and GPU. It's a super helpful tool to ensure compatibility!
Don't forget, you'll also need an operating system once you have it all set up!
