Different computer parts and their uses

There are six main parts of a computer that, when put together properly, will give you a fully functioning pc.

1. Central Processing Unit (CPU): The ‘brain’ of the computer. It makes calculations based on input from the user and executes programs.
2. Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM feeds data directly into the CPU. As the memory is variable, the data is lost when the computer is shut down.
3. Hard Drive: To preserve data when the computer is off. Saved documents, applications and media is stored in a disk drive or solid state drive.
4. Video Card: Provides image output on a screen via a VGA, DVI, or HDMI port.
5. Motherboard: Receives power from the power supply and connects all the components together. The motherboard also contains controllers to allow certain components to interact.
6. Power supply: Supplies power to the motherboard. Without power, your computer would just be a scrap of metal!
