You might want to ask someone with experience to help you create a parts list. There are great communities online that specialize in this sort of thing, and they can guide you through each step!
I found this video really helpful, as it inspired me to start building my own PC. The creator has a lot of great follow-up content that includes setup tips for beginners!
Before anyone can help, think about what you need the PC for. Are you looking for something just for browsing and basic tasks, or do you want a gaming machine? Also, what's your budget? Knowing these two things is crucial for getting tailored advice.
YouTube is an awesome resource for PC building! There are tons of videos that show how different builds perform and walk you through what components to pick. A great site to help choose parts is PCPartPicker; you can assemble your list there and get feedback.
