I'm totally new to building PCs and don't even know what's inside one. Can anyone give me a detailed list of everything I need to get started on building my own PC?

To build a PC, you'll need several key components: a CPU, heatsink/fan, 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 Legos—everything just fits together!
Check out the beginners' guide on Reddit. It goes over all the essentials you’ll need for building a PC.
There's a ton of video guides on YouTube that can really help you through the whole process. It's a great resource for visual learners!
You can use pcpartpicker.com to pick all of your parts. They have slots for everything—just select your CPU, GPU, etc. It makes it easy to see compatibility and prices!
And don't forget about the RAM! That's super important too.
