1. Central Processing Unit (CPU): The CPU is the "brain" of a computer.

It performs
most of the calculations and executes instructions, coordinating the activities of
other hardware components.
2. Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM is a type of computer memory that
provides temporary storage for data and instructions that are actively being used
by the CPU. It allows for quick access and retrieval of information, making the
computer's operation faster.
3. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid-State Drive (SSD): These are storage devices that
store long-term data, such as the operating system, software applications, files,
and documents. HDDs use spinning disks and read/write heads, while SSDs use
flash memory chips. SSDs are generally faster and more reliable than HDDs.
4. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): A GPU is a specialized electronic circuit designed
to handle complex graphical and computational tasks related to rendering and
displaying images, videos, and 3D graphics. GPUs are commonly used in gaming,
video editing, and scientific simulations.
5. Motherboard: The motherboard is the main circuit board that connects and
allows communication between all the components of a computer, including the
CPU, RAM, storage devices, and peripherals. It provides the necessary electrical
connections and pathways for data transfer and power distribution
