Identifying the Important Pieces

It may look like a lot for your eyes to grasp, but don’t let the cables deceive you, it really isn’t much when it comes down to the modules. There are essentially 10 components to a functioning computer.

1. Central Processing Unit (CPU)





2. Motherboard




3. Random Access Memory (RAM)





4. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)





5. Heat Sink



6. Power Supply



7. Operating System





8. Optical Drive




9. Case






10. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)





You can re-think each of these individual components as organs to your body. They all perform some sort of function that is very vital to running your computer. In the next few posts I’ll go in depth with each individual component to further your understanding of why these are vital components.
