Building your own PC is simpler than LEGO. Quick read about what what CPU is compatible with what motherboard then selecting memory and sufficient power supply

  Wouldn't say simpler than LEGO as there are some nuances. For example: * making sure the motherboard supports the CPU via socket and also nominally * making sure the heatsink can be mounted on top of the CPU socket * having the case fit your motherboard form factor * if there is a dedicated GPU, making sure it fits inside the case and there is a PCI-E slot with sufficient lanes for it * if not, making sure there is an integrated GPU * selecting a PSU that can handle the maximum power load for the GPU and that has a power cable for the GPU if it needs one * making sure to buy the right type of ram in accordance with what the CPU and motherboard support * if you want wifi, making sure there is built-in or there is a m.2 slot for wifi * if you want a m.2 NVMe SSD, there should be a m.2 slot with the right key interface Not often you end up buying parts that don't work well with each other and need to buy other parts. I once bought a small factor m.2 ssd only to discover it didn't fit the slot. I think it was trying to fit an M key device into a B key slot. Sometimes even the vendor data can be incorrect.
