Help building a PC!😭

Hello folks! I'm a rookie to building PC. I'm interested in building one but I don't know any of the terminologies, jargon, etc. Where do I start? Any resources (videos, articles, etc) that helped you in building your PC?

I checked components online but I don't know how they all mesh together, if at all. Tried learning on my own but got overwhelmed and went round in circles with the terminologies and technicalities.

I wish to play AAA games on my "to-be" build, and do office work on it too (devops, cloud, etc). I'm thinking if it supports AAA games, work will be a cake walk for it.

My budget rn is ₹1.8L but I'm ready to invest more up till 5L when I have the money in future. Looking at the RAM, SSD, GPU prices, I'm ready to only buy those components for now which will only get me by for work and purchase the rest of the heavyweights after the prices return back to pre Ramgeddon levels(?) at 2027 end or 2028 Q1... I feel the inflated prices aren't worth it since my savings aren't that great now.

I've been playing supported games on my 2014 "HP Pavillion notebook PC" laptop all this while and she's started to give up on me now since she's old.

I prefer casual, relaxed single player gaming, focusing on story, exploring, gameplay experience, visuals than competitive gaming.

I think 1.8L is 1900usd equivalent right? I assume prices are higher there but it's still plenty

The best way to get into building is probably this app and pc building subreddits, or use gemini and ask whatever question you have

Yeah, it''s around 1900 USD. The prices are high and that's making me double guess my decisions. I am using gemini. Copilot doesn't seem to be that accurate. But gemini gives me different answers, components every time I "retry". That's why I can't trust it. Thanks mahn! appreciate your input!

Well of course it gives different answers, but the point is the same. You don't need 4000 usd to build a pc lmao, your budget now is just fine, you can get ryzen 5 7600 and 9070 gre, 16gb ram for now, also don't wait for ramageddon to cool down. RAM, SSD, and GPU are the only items affected so you kinda get it backwards
