Components for a computer

To build a computer, you'll need several key components:

Central Processing Unit (CPU): The brain of the computer that processes instructions.

Motherboard: It is a printed circuit board to which the components that make up the computer are connected.

Memory (RAM): Temporary storage that provides space for the CPU to read and write data.

Storage: Hard Drive (HDD) or Solid State Drive (SSD) for permanent data storage.

Power Supply Unit (PSU): Converts electrical power from an outlet into usable power for the computer's components.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): Handles rendering images, video, and animations (especially important for gaming or graphic-intensive tasks).

Case: The enclosure that houses and protects all the components.

Cooling System: Includes fans and heatsinks to prevent overheating.

Input/Output Devices: Such as a keyboard and mouse for user interaction, and a monitor to display output.

Cables and Connectors: Various cables to connect components, such as power cables and data cables.

Optional components can be:

Optical Drive: For reading CDs/DVDs, though these are not neccesary because they are not used anymore.
Network Card: For wired or wireless internet connectivity, though many motherboards come with integrated options.
