CASE
The first thing you will need to do is pick out a case. There are a lot of nice cases that you can find on Amazon or Newegg but for this list I have chosen the InWin 101 White ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case with Tempered Glass. This case has a very stylish and sleek design and with the easily removable tempered glass you can customize and exchange parts however you see fit.

The motherboard is the hub that connects all your computer parts together.

Any great computer will need a good CPU to go along with it. For this part I have chosen the Intel 8th Gen Core i5-8600K Processor. This processor is unlocked and will allow for easy overclocking to get the most out of it. Intel 8th Gen Core i5-8600K Processor
