I want to know what are all the parts in building PC?
And What are the functions of each part?
How to know how one part is better then another (1 cpu to another cpu)how tell be able to tell which is better?
so if i buy all parts they will just fit in?
every parts will be able to go in with another?
will i have to buy specific case, monitor etc for certain parts to be able to function.

You can check my first build for reference:http://pcpartpicker.com/user/zeyuanfu.fu/saved/h7snTW
If you want a better CPU, get the Core i3-4150 if you are low on $$$ or the Core i5-4690 if you have a lot.
No, you have to get specific parts for specific other parts, for example DDR3 RAM for a DDR3 mobo.
You can get any case, as long as everything...

As I said, you can reference my first build and add better parts if you wish.

SirSky, if you know what budget you have available for your build, let us know, and also if you need monitor, mouse, keyboard and OS.

We will provide you with some of the better builds that you can have within your budget.

Since its your first build I bet you are on a tight budget,yes? If so go look at one of the AMD kits on Tigerdirect, where you can get everything you need at once and save some $$$ in the process. Your best bet ATM would be the FX4130 kit they have right now, it gives you the whole smash, quad core CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD, DVD burner, along with a case and power supply for $260 after rebate. Add a copy of Windows and an HD7770 and for around $430 you'll have a PC that will play most of the games out there at an acceptable framerate.

As for the parts you'll need just look at the kit. You have the CPU, the heatsink for the CPU, the memory, the motherboard, the hard drive, the burner (makes it easier to install the OS), the case and the power supply. As far as "which is better" that is impossible to tell without knowing which software you plan to run but if you are playing games pretty much any of the quads by either company will do and faster speed is always better on that front. With a kit you'll KNOW it'll all fit, that is why they sell it together after all. As far as monitors go no, pretty much any modern monitor will have both VGA and DVI and since the boards come with both in most cases you'll be just fine.
