What is the minimum hardware required to build a PC?

Seems like it would be: -

Case

Motherboard

CPU + cooler

RAM

PSU

Fans

Drive

Anything else?

Thanks :)

For what OS?

Windows 8.

By drive do you mean a HDD? or DVD Drive? Having both of those would be a good idea.

HDD yeah. I honestly haven't used the DVD drive on my current PC in over a year so probably wouldn't need one, but if they're cheap enough I'd probably get one for completeness.

graphic card if you need something better then the builtin one on the motherboard

I don't think I would, mainly use my PC for browsing. I watch YouTube sometimes but never game on it.

DVD burners are about $20 now (at least in Canada). I'd buy one just for convenience sake.
