In this modern era, we use computers for everything. Anything from office work to video games, there is a computer to suit the job. This simple site will teach you the basics of purchasing and assembling your own personal computer to accomplish any task you may throw at it.

The first thing that should be known is: what exactly are the main components of a computer; what is it inside that box that makes everything happen? Computers are made up of 4 main components: the motherboard, the Central Processing Unit, the Graphical Processing Unit, and the Hard Drive. Each of these parts serves their own unique, yet equally important function. The motherboard is the main circuit board of the computer; it is what ties everything together. For more information on the other components, view the side panels

The other parts that the computer would be useless without, the mouse, keyboard, monitor, and speakers are known as peripherals, they work outside the computer's housing and allow you to manipulate data. They will be covered on another page.

A note before we begin, this website is selecting parts based upon their performance in their designated area, you may or may not need higher end components listed based upon what you plan to use your computer for.
