I'm getting ready to build my own PC and I want to make sure I understand the size requirements properly. Does the size of the PC only depend on the case, or is there more to it? I'm asking because we're looking to buy a desk first and I want to ensure everything will fit nicely. It's clear that all the components go inside the case, but I'm curious if I need to think about anything else besides the monitor in terms of space.

Yeah, you're mostly right! The size of your setup will mainly depend on the case and what connects to it. Just keep in mind that different parts need different amounts of space, so make sure everything fits before you buy.
Good point! It's crucial to check that all your components, like the motherboard and GPU, will fit inside your case. Some smaller cases can be pretty tight, so double-check those dimensions before ordering. You'll save yourself a headache later!
Thanks for the heads up! I had someone mention that to me before—I had a mini ATX case in mind until I switched it after some advice.
