It's very important for you to make sure that the components you are choosing are compatible with each other and that they will meet your performance needs.

When you are choosing a processor, you should be considering the number of cores and the clock speed. The higher the clock speed and the more cores, the performance will be better. The motherboard is the backbone of your PC, and it needs to be compatible with the processor you choose. The motherboard should have the right number of memory and storage slots, and any additional features that you may need, like built-in Wi-Fi or Thunderbolt ports. Memory, also known as RAM (Random Access Memory), is used to store data that the processor uses to access quickly. If the amount of RAM memory is higher, the better your computer's performance will be. HDD or SSD storage is used from your computer to store the OS (Operating System), programs, and files. You have two options when you are choosing the storage, you have a traditional hard drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD). SSDs (solid-state drive) are more faster and reliable than the HDD (hard drives).

Finally, the graphics card is responsible for rendering images and videos. If you're planning on playing games or doing any kind of video editing, you'll want to invest in a good graphics card.
