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!

Check out the beginner's guide on Reddit, it's a fantastic resource! It covers all the basics and will really help you out.
There are loads of great tutorials on YouTube that can guide you through the building process step by step. Just search for 'how to build a PC' and you'll find plenty of options!
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!
