Hello, my son’s friend was really interested in building a new gaming PC, so I offered to help. The community helped me build my PC a long time ago, and it is still running well (thank you!). He prefers first person shooters such as Fortnite and Apex Legends. I completed the new build questionnaire below, but please let me know if I missed anything. I am looking for a comprehensive list of everything needed, including thermal paste and anything else to complete the build. Thanks in advance for your help!
