High quality computer case with great airflow that will house the components on this list and have more room for upgrading components in the future.
CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW Mid-Tower ATX Case - Black
My favorite processor for the price! Will run just about every game and program extremely well without having to spend an arm and a leg.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core 12-Thread Processor
Fantastic value GPU. This will run anything you need it to and run almost all games on very high graphic settings!
MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB OC Graphics Card
Excellent RAM! Will handle anything you throw at it! Perfect for games or never closing your tabs in your web browser!
Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB 3600MHz CL18
Extremely fast storage with plenty of space! I have my operating system on one of these and my computer powers up in under 3 seconds!
Kingston NV2 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD PCIe 4.0
Wonderful motherboard that will work wonderfully and be perfect if you need to upgrade other components in a few years.
MSI B450M-A PRO MAX II mATX Motherboard
Very powerful power supply that won't break the budget and has the capabilities to run more powerful components should you decide to upgrade down the line.
The operating system is arguably the most critical component to a PC. Windows is the most widely supported operating system for computers and my favorite by a large margin.
Microsoft System Builder | Windows 11 Home
Thermal paste is a small part of the build but EXTREMELY important, just rub some on the top of the CPU to go between the CPU and the CPU cooler and your CPU will be much much safer from overheating!
If you're like me and don't have your PC placed directly next to your router you'll need a network adapter to connect to your WIFI and this one will work fabulously!
