How can I permanently wipe my old PC before selling ?

Hello,

I am planning to sell my 2005 HP PC whose mostly components are not compatible with today's technology. More than that my work requirement forced me to upgrade to some high-end PC/laptop. Before selling, I want to be completely sure that all of my data will be erased from a desktop. Backup was already taken. Any suggestions members, how can I erase my sensitive data.
Thanks in advance.
