This is one "overview" kind of tutorial I linked below that covers the basics though honestly I would pay far more attention to youtube tutorial videos that go into detail on this sort of thing ... like say search for "MSI Forge 100R build tutorial" , then search for " MSI Pro B660M build tutorial" , " how to install a Intel Core CPU (insert name of CPU you bought here)" that sort of thing

Given how low prices are for PC parts right now this is a great time to build a PC and it's not as scary as people think
(my "go to" drive is the crucial MX500 1 TB drive which is under $50 right now on amazon if I'm not mistaken... I think the samsung 970 evo plus will go in your motherboard too but not 100 percent sure, if it does the 1 TB version is about $50 on amazon ... personally I'd go with both drives
Thank you in advanced!
That CPU is under $90-$100 these days
Look it up, its a beast for gaming .

What jayJ4415 said, a video/graphics card and also hard drives for storage and possibly fans on the top (being the paranoid sort I put as many fans as I can into a PC build

For instance, if you get a power supply that's rated beyond what's required for your hardware, it makes it easier to keep for a newer build.
Contrary to popular belief, a power supply with higher wattage doesn't mean it's going to use more power (given identical 80Plus ratings and relative quality between components) than one closer to what your system requires.
In fact, going over on the wattage can give you enough of a buffer to where you don't necessarily have to seek out an 80Plus Gold/Platinum PSU to attain similar efficiency. This often translates to cooler temps and a longer lasting power supply.
As for the motherboard, don't forget that literally everything connects to it, making it the most vital aspect of the system and the one you're least likely to upgrade in the same generation.
You can skimp on value added features that the premium motherboards have, such as the latest WiFi controller, synchronous RGB lighting, or more than one M.2 slot, but I would never go bottom of the barrel when it comes to things like VRM cooling (or lack thereof). Building with an extremely minimal budget might fly for an i3 build with zero likelihood of being overclocked, but not with a mid/high range i5 or i7.

The efficiency goes way down when you are running outside this band. If you pop a 1200w power supply in and are only running at 120w, well...
