$\blue { \tt{Power Supply (PSU):–}}$

This is the part that provides power to everything in the computer. Without it, your computer would be rendered useless.

$\blue { \tt{Motherboard–}}$

Your RAM, CPU, GPU, and other cords will plug into here. The motherboard will control things like PWM fans, BIOS, case features, and other important things. Not to mention your motherboard is the support for overclocking on the CPU/RAM and voltage modifiers.

$\blue { \tt{Central Processing Unit (CPU): –}}$

Your CPU carries the information that your computer visually provides. OS data is often stored on the CPU kernels, and is a reason why some rootkits (Ring0) require a huge wipe and CPU replacement.

$\blue { \tt{CPU Cooler:–}}$

Whether your method of CPU cooling is AIO, Air, or Custom Loop, they all provide the same basic function; keeping your CPU temperature down so you A. can’t boil water inside of your computer and B. have to pay for room heating. Air CPU Coolers can also take heat from the RAM and distribute it out of the case, just like how the heatsink on the CPU does.

$\blue { \tt{Random Access Memory (RAM):–}}</p><p>$

: I like to think of this as the “in-the-moment” parts of the PC. As you work on a computer, not all of the processes and data is written to the HDD. Those tabs and open programs are being run on the RAM, which is why RAM can be a limitation for video editors and VFX/GFX designers.

$\blue { \tt{HDD (Hard Disk Drive):–}}$

This is where long-term memory and files are stored. Some computers may utilize another SSD (Solid State Drive) to have a fast Windows and application boot process, or they may run their drives in a Raid0 configuration.

$\blue { \tt{Case–}}$

Yes, I’m including the case. If you didn’t realize, placing a motherboard on a lump of metal and not fastening it is a good way to short it and blow up the system. Cases can provide ventilation, placement for cooling, fans, and generally help with the aesthetic.

$\blue { \tt{Graphics Processing Unit (GPU,</p><p> otherwise known as a graphics card):–}}$

This isn’t a big requirement for the average computer consumer. Gamers, on the other hand, require a sturdy GPU to run their favourite games at medium to high+ settings.
