Here to make PC simple for YOU!
CPU
A Central Processing Unit (CPU) is one of the most important parts of any computer. Often referred to as "a computer's brain," it processes and executes our commands and plays a big role in a device's speed and efficiency.
​
In simple terms, this is the Brains of the operating system!
Motherboard
A motherboard links the different components within a computer to allow communication between all the hardware components. It holds the system memory, expansion slots, networking systems, audio, input/output systems and the central processing unit. The motherboard is the central component of a computer, and the computer cannot run without it.
​
This is the main board that all other components connect to.
GPU
Graphics processing unit, a specialized processor originally designed to accelerate graphics rendering. GPUs can process many pieces of data simultaneously, making them useful for machine learning, video editing, and gaming applications.
​
The Graphics Card is exactly how it sounds, this produces the graphics for your computer and the quality of your PC.
RAM
Random access memory (RAM) is the computer's memory that stores user data. Data stored in RAM can be quickly accessed, but is temporary in that it’s unable to save data if there is no power. Additionally, RAM determines the performance of a computer, including its ability to run multiple applications simultaneously
​
Ram is one of the amazing features of storing memory for the computer and helping the computer boot things up quickly and efficiently.
CPU Cooler
A CPU cooler is a device meant to draw excess heat away from the system CPU and other computer components. Using a CPU cooler to maintain CPU temperatures improves and ensures efficiency and stability of the system The cons are that it increases the noise produced by a computer
​
CPU Coolers are self-explanatory by literally meaning it cools and maintains the CPU's temperature. This helps the CPU stay in a good temperature range and will improve your PC performance.
CASE
The computer case serves mainly as a way to physically mount and contain all the actual components inside a computer, like the motherboard, hard drive, optical drive, floppy disk drive, etc. They typically come bundled with a power supply
​
Cases protect and bundle everything up into a box in short. Amazing thing about cases are they do provide air flow for your PC to breath and many cases now have cable management ready to use for you so that your cords aren't just out in the open.
Storage
Storage is a mechanism that enables a computer to retain data, either temporarily or permanently. Storage devices such as flash drives and hard disks are a fundamental component of most digital devices since they allow users to preserve all kinds of information such as videos, documents, pictures and raw data.
Power Supply
The source is the origin of incoming electricity. In most cases, the electricity source is an outlet, battery, or generator. The power supply works to convert the power from the source into the correct format and voltage
​
Power Supply is a box that powers up your entire computer and many have safe modes on them that protect your computer from electrical fires. Nice little safety mode.
Additional
Where to start here you can range from WIFI adapter for motherboards that do not have WIFI capabilities. Also, you have here some SSD (Solid-State Drive) which is a type of PC storage that writes and reads faster, these however can be a little bit more pricey but nice to have.
A collection of components to create YOUR PC
These are the major components used to build a PC, so if you have any questions on any of the parts just come back here to get a brief summary on what each component does and how it affects one another.
