Whether it be a desktop, a laptop, PC or mac, the computer part world is a vast one and I’m gonna show you the best computer parts you can use for an assortment of things. Like I said, computers are fun! Lets start with one the most important parts of the computer.

Number One: The Hard Drive

The Hard drive is meant to be used to store the data of the computer, like music, pictures, and videos, depending on what hard drive you buy, you can get up to 100 terabytes.

Number Two: Mother Board and CPU and RAM

When you want the computer to turn on, you need to get a good mother board. This is a green circuit board that can helps the CPU, RAM, and the other parts interact. There are many forms of mother boards to chose from.

-AT Motherboards

-ATX Motherboards

-Expansion Slots

-CPU Sockets

Number Three USB Slots

These are exactly what it says on the tin, a part for the USB cords to plug into the computer. When you want to transfer data from system to system, this part is essential.

Number Four Peripherals

Speakers, scanners, printers, all of the stuff that you use to create your work, you gain more functions by having these. It is more optimal to have these things.

How do these Parts work together?

The Mother Board allows the CPU and the RAM to interact with the other parts of the to computer to make them actually work. That is usually what make the computer run like butter all the time (or not). According to YourBuisnness.azcentral.com they had this to say about motherboards and hard drives interacting.
