Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Mother Board 
TO INTERCONNECT EACH AND EVERY HARDWARE OF COMPUTER 
A computer motherboard is nothing but the circuit board or 
the circuit which controls the entire functioning of the 
computer. All the components that form your computer are 
connected to the computer motherboard.

Random Access Memory (RAM) 
TO GIVE ACCESS TO DATA FOR ON GOING FUNTION 
OR PROCESS ON COMPUTER 
EG:- 1GB; 2GB; 3GB; 4GB; 5GB; 6GB; 7GB; 8GB 
RAM (Random Access Memory) is system's short-term 
memory or Primary memory. RAM is used by the system to 
store data that is processed by a computer's CPU. Higher 
more RAM you have, the more things your computer can 
do at the same time, and the faster your computer 
performs certain tasks.
PROCESSOR 
•ACT AS PROCESSING DEVICE OF COMPUTER 
e.g.:- INTEL CORE 7i ; INTEL CORE 3i ; INTEL 
CORE 2 dual ; INTEL DUAL CORE ; ATOM; 
AMD 
The processor is the central focus of the computer. It has three main tasks: 
1. Receiving input (including memory access) 
2. Giving output (including memory access) 
3. And performing mathematical and logical calculations
Graphics Card
