Many people here will happily help my friend! As Dark Lord just stated above, PCPartpicker is a useful tool to also use.

Just read this guide first so you know what to post to request help; https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-new-build-or-upgrade-advice.528714/

Budget, what do you want out of it etc would be useful but I’m sure someone can guide you to what you need.
What help do you require?

To clarify OP has messaged me and informed me he already has a PC built on PCpartpicker, but wants help actually building it. I have referred them to various PC building guides.

There are many videos on YouTube which you can follow to guide you along the process. Most hardware also comes with leaflets which picture/describe how to install the parts. A quick rundown of what you will have to do:
• Put the CPU into the motherboard socket, making sure it is aligned with the triangle, and put the cooler on top, plugging it into a fan socket. Don't forget thermal paste if the cooler doesn't have it already.
• Put the RAM into the RAM slots, lining the gap in the modules with the slit in the slots. If you have 2 ram modules and 4 slots, it should be in slot 2 and 4.
• Plug GPU into a PCI-Express slot.
• Put this into the case, lining up he holes in the motherboard with the case standoffs, then screw them in.
• Put PSU into the case's PSU place, then plug the connectors into the motherboard and GPU, where they fit.
• Plug the case's front panel connectors into the motherboard. This is according to the manuals of both the case and motherboard.
• Plug monitor into GPU, not motherboard.

If there is a technical term here that you don't understand, Google will hopefully clear things up for you. The thing to remember is that everything usually has its own shaped/sized connectors. It is very hard to plug the wrong thing into the wrong place.

Good luck! Hope you enjoy your new PC!
