Factory’s pull out hundreds of computers a day, no mistakes, perfect products, but yet a few certain individuals prefer to take the time out of their day to buy each part at its cheapest, online. Not only do they take the risk of shipping and handling for every part that is being delivered, but they have to conscientiously assemble the computer without a single scratch. So what’s the benefit?

Computer Basics:

  • Motherboard- A circuit board containing all of the key components to the computer
  • Processor (CPU)- Operations are controlled and executed through this part
  • Random Access Memory (RAM)- allows the computer to quickly reach currently operating programs
  • CPU Cooler- A system which keeps the CPU at a sustainable temperature
  • Power Supply Unit (PSU)- Provides electricity to all components
  • Hard Drive- Stores the computers data/files
  • Graphics Card (GPU)- Outputs graphics to the monitor
  • Additional fans- To regulate the computer’s overall temperature
