You can do it with as few as six items purchased, excluding monitor and peripherals.

cpu - a Ryzen 5600G has graphics output and comes with a bundles cooler. So do non F Intel CPUs, but they're less capable of gaming.
motherboard.
RAM
an ssd
a power supply. Comes with all the cables you need.
a case.

Add a GPU and you've got a capable pc. You may need a screwdriver (Philips type 0 and type 2) for assembly but that's it.

Is the case optional? Can I use a plastic container?

GDBukel5@reddit

technically it is optional but only if you want to use a screwdriver on your motherboard everytime you want to turn it on

if you want to explode your house then yes it's optional

I know it has been a while... but do I need to buy any cables or anything?

[-]

SilentStudiesrec@reddit

Fr cause I keep hearing people say cable management takes 4 hours but where these cables come from?

[-]

krzyzj@reddit

Lol just bought everything and the cables all came with the case

[-]

whomad1215@reddit

Velcro/zip ties can help with cable management

Philips #2 screwdriver with a magnetic tip is useful, and I forget what size an M2 screw needs

A cat, you need a cat to sit on top of the pc. It's the law.

I know this is a old post, but no one mentioned thermal paste, lol.

[-]

KrivYaejerit@reddit

Does the CPU/CPU cooler/GPU come with thermal paste, or do I need to buy it separately?

[-]

GPU always comes with thermal paste, CPU depends. Best to buy thermal paste, usually just costs a dollar or two. Can't really underspend on thermal paste lol
plus, in the future (which will be a couple years) thermal paste on GPU/CPU can dry out and then you can give that PC a fresh of life when you replace it
