What parts do you need to build a computer?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

So I have a problem with my computer, and I took it somewhere and the guy said I should really get a new computer or build a new one and scrap the one I have now and use its parts. I personally don't know THAT much abut building computers; however, I have a friend who sort of does and his cousin does, so together we could build it. ...but...I don't know what you NEED to build a computer...or I don't know everything you need to build a computer...So could someone make me a list of computer parts need to build a computer? Not specific parts, just parts like Video card, ram, PSU, etc... Also if you need any programs to make the computer work besides the operating system. thanks!
