I'm planning to build my first PC, but I'm not sure where to begin. I want to avoid wasting money by making mistakes, so I would really appreciate any guidance. My budget is around £1,000 and it includes peripherals. Thanks in advance for your help!

Check out PCPartPicker, especially the UK version, to ensure all your components are compatible. It’s super helpful during the planning stage.
Definitely clarify your budget! Since you mentioned £1,000 including peripherals, be mindful that a decent monitor, keyboard, and mouse can take a chunk out of that budget—around £150-£200. That leaves you with about £800 for the PC itself, so plan accordingly!
A great place to start is by watching some PC building videos on YouTube. There are tons of tech channels that will help you understand the basics and guide you through the assembly process.
Keep in mind what you'll use the PC for! Gaming versus work can change your component choices significantly. If gaming is the goal, invest heavily in a good graphics card.
