Computer Components
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The CPU is the "brain" of the computer. It
processes all commands and controls
other parts. A faster CPU means a faster
computer. It performs millions of
operations per second—from launching
games to scientific calculations.
Random Access Memory (RAM)
RAM stores the data the computer is
using right now. If there’s not enough
RAM, the computer slows down. It’s like a
work desk: the bigger it is, the easier it is
to do multiple tasks at once.
Hard Drive or SSD
The hard drive (or SSD) is where files like
documents, music, photos, and apps are
stored. SSDs are faster but more
expensive. Hard drives are slower but
cheaper. Without storage, you couldn’t
even start the operating system.
Graphics Card (GPU)
The GPU handles graphics. It helps run
games, play videos, and work with 3D
images. In modern games, a good GPU is
crucial—it makes the visuals smooth and
detailed.
Motherboard
The motherboard connects all
components. The processor, memory,
storage—all plug into it. It manages
communication between parts and
delivers power.
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The PSU powers the entire computer. It
converts electricity from the outlet into
the right form for the parts. A bad PSU
can cause overheating or even damage
the computer.
Cooling System
Computers heat up when they run.
Cooling fans (and sometimes water
cooling) keep them from overheating.
Without cooling, the computer may shut
down or break.
A computer is like a big puzzle, and every
part matters. The CPU thinks, RAM
Conclusion remembers, storage saves, the GPU
shows images, and the motherboard
connects it all. Knowing how it works
helps you use it better!
