There are more than six components in a computer, but the six main elements are:
Motherboard: The heart--everything connects to the main board.
CPU: The brain--all computations are run through this component
Hard Disk Drive: The storage device--contains all the data on the computer.
RAM: "Random Access Memory"--the data currently being used is off-loaded from the HDD to the RAM.
Video Card: This component drives the monitors that display your information. Performance cards are made for gaming.
Optical Drive- Typically a CD/DVD drive, for reading and/or writing data.
