Various factors affect the choice of a person before going to make a purchase. It varies by a person's choice or the type of use. Anyway, here are some of the basic things that you need to consider before going to buy any of these components or building a custom pc.
Budget
The main thing that needs to be considered is BUDGET. You need to first check what will be the maximum budget your parents, or your pocket allows you. This is a high-end PC Build so you would be able to game on 4k at 120+ FPS and 1440p at 160+ FPS.
Also, due to the current situation of the Pandemic that led to a shortage of stocks in the PC Hardware Market, the prices of all types of components are at their worst. Some of them are even selling at double their prices. So it's worth waiting for the prices to normalize as you'll have to spend ₹1 Lakh on a pc that you can get for ₹50,000 in normal times. Even though the situation is worst, the prices are returning on track slowly-slowly and we try our best to keep the components and their prices up-to-date by checking our Articles from time to time.
This budget will cost you around Rs. 2 Lakh including every other peripheral such as Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard and Headphones.
Upgradability
It's worth making sure that your pc is upgradable. Any PC will not last forever as you'll have to upgrade your components at some point. So you may try to select a motherboard that is compatible with the future upgrades you do, and a big-enough pc case to support your future graphics cards.
This PC Build is already upgradable which means you can add the higher versions of the components without worrying about motherboard compatibility.
Daily-Life Tasks
Most people build a Custom PC for both gaming and Daily life or working tasks. So make sure to pick the parts that are capable of handling your daily life tasks other than gaming.
This high-end PC Build is capable enough to run every type of your daily-life tasks as well as Streaming, and Photo/Video Editing.
Aesthetics
Gaming PC Build is not complete without RGB's or Good Looking chassis. Just like the performance, the aesthetics of the build depends on how much you put into your build. We've put the best components possible to make this build as good looking as possible.
Overclocking
With the increase of Gaming trends, overclocking is getting easier and easier day by day, as the companies make their hardware more overclocking friendly. It's a great way of extracting some extra juice from your pc, but be careful and do everything right and if you don't know how to do it, then get some assistance, otherwise you'll end up blowing up your pc.

GPU
The function of both CPU and GPU is almost the same. Where a CPU is a central processor a GPU is used to perform Graphical processes such as rendering and all that Graphics stuff. Adding a GPU to your system can double the performance as your CPU will no longer have to handle the graphical processes, while the GPU is built specifically for it so it can perform Graphical processes very well which results in a smoother gameplay experience and higher Graphics
