  2. Motherboard: It is the main circuit board that connects all the components of the computer, including the CPU, memory, storage, and other peripherals.

  3. Memory (RAM): Random Access Memory stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly. It is volatile memory, meaning it loses its data when the computer is turned off.

  4. Storage: This includes hard disk drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD) that store data and programs on a long-term basis.

  5. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): It is responsible for rendering images, videos, and animations. It is particularly important for gaming and graphic-intensive tasks.

  6. Power Supply Unit (PSU): It provides electrical power to the computer components.

  7. Input Devices: These include the keyboard, mouse, and other devices used to input data into the computer.

  8. Output Devices: These include the monitor, printer, and speakers that display or produce the results of the computer’s processing.

  9. Cooling System: It includes fans, heat sinks, and liquid cooling systems to prevent the computer from overheating.

  10. Expansion Cards: These are additional cards that can be inserted into the motherboard to add extra functionality, such as a graphics card or sound card.

  11. Peripherals: These are external devices that can be connected to the computer, such as a webcam, microphone, or external hard drive.

  12. Operating System: This is the software that manages and controls the computer’s hardware and software resources, allowing users to interact with the computer.
