I did some more research on computer parts and learned that there are actually many types of computer parts. Certain parts can only function together with other compatible parts.
The computer case of a computer comes with lights, vents, fans, and places for attaching cables. The case needs to be compatible with the motherboard inside the case.
The motherboard is the primary circuit board inside the computer which everything is connected to. The motherboard comes in mainly two styles-ATX and microATX.
The power supply connects to the computer and gives it power.
The central processing unit or CPU for short is the heart of all computer operations and determines how fast hardware or software can run.
Random access memory is the place where information is stored when it is waiting to be processed. There is a maximum amount of random access memory a computer can handle. There are many types of RAM and only certain types of RAM can be handled by certain motherboards. We will need to keep this in mind when buying RAM.
The computer drive is a place where information which is not used is stored. There are two standards: the older IDE Standard and the newer SATA standard.
Fans are used to prevent computers from overheating. People who use computers for long periods of time sometimes use something called a water cooling system. Since this computer will be used regularly for long periods of time, we might need to invest in a water cooling system.
