Although there are too many parts to name and describe, ill try and cover as many as the main parts as possible.

CPU: The Central Processing Unit tells all the different parts of the computer what to do, when to do it, and processes all the information being transferred in the computer.

Hard Drive: The Hard Drive stores permanent information in the computer. Things such as the operating system, files, and programs you download.

RAM: RAM stores information waiting to be used. When the CPU requests a file to be opened, information is sent from the Hard Drive to the RAM to wait until the CPU accesses it.

DVD Drive: The DVD Drive reads disks and transfers data to the Hard Drive or RAM, depending on whether the data is permanent or temporarily.

Power Supply: The Power Supply supplies the different computer parts with the electricity they require.

Motherboard: The Motherboard holds things like the CPU, RAM, Video Card, and other interchangeable parts.
