Computer Hardware Guide
1. Central Processing Unit (CPU - The brain of
the computer.
- Responsible for executing instructions and
processing data.
- Key factors: speed (measured in GHz) and
number of cores.

2. Random Access Memory (RAM - Temporary

storage for data and instructions.
- Faster access than hard drives but volatile
(loses data when powered off).
- Important for multitasking and overall system
performance.
3. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU - Handles
rendering images, videos, and 3D graphics.
- Critical for gaming, video editing, and graphical
tasks.
- Two types: integrated (part of the CPU) and
discrete (separate card).

4. Storage Drives - Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

- Traditional, slower storage option.
- Uses spinning disks and magnetic storage.
- **Solid State Drive (SSD)**:
- Faster, more reliable storage.
- Uses flash memory for quicker access times.
- Preferred for operating system and frequently
accessed files.
5. Motherboard - Connects all components
together.
- Contains slots for CPU, RAM, GPU, and other
peripherals.
- Key features include chipset, form factor, and
expansion slots.

6. Power Supply Unit (PSU - Supplies power to all

components.
- Wattage rating should be sufficient for all
components.
- Efficiency rating (80 Plus) indicates power
conversion efficiency. - Faster, more reliable
storage.
- Uses flash memory for quicker access times.
- Preferred for operating system and frequently
accessed files.
7. Cooling System - Prevents overheating of
components.
- Includes fans, heat sinks, and liquid cooling
systems.
- Proper airflow and cooling are crucial for
longevity and performance.

8. Peripherals - Input devices: keyboard, mouse,

and other controllers.
- Output devices: monitor, printer, and speakers.
- External storage: USB drives, external hard
drives, etc. storage.
- Uses flash memory for quicker access times.
- Preferred for operating system and frequently
accessed files.
