I've never owned a PC before, and I'm eager to learn how to build one! I want to put together a system that can handle games like Arma Reforger and other fairly demanding titles. I realize that doing this may not be super cheap, but I'm hoping to keep costs down as much as possible. Can someone explain the process to me in simple terms?

There are tons of build videos online that can show you how to assemble everything step by step! However, it’s hard to suggest specific parts without knowing your budget and where you're shopping. If you’re thinking of spending around $600 to $800, check out used older PCs that meet the recommended specs for Arma.
YouTube is your best friend here! The parts only fit in one specific way, so just follow the manuals closely. Take your time and ensure everything is installed correctly, especially with power connections. After building, you’ll need to install an operating system using a USB stick from another computer, then install drivers and updates afterward.
Building a PC is kind of like putting together IKEA furniture. Just follow the instruction manuals carefully, and it helps to have a YouTube guide running alongside you. Make sure to have a set of screwdrivers on hand—preferably one with interchangeable heads. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to grab some rubber gloves, just to keep things clean and avoid static damage.
Why would you need rubber gloves? It's not like you're handling a Pikachu or anything!
