7 Major components of a computer

Description

A computer is a machine that accepts information (data) as input and then processes and outputs the data based on a set of instructions. The 7 major components of a computer are:

  • Motherboard
  • Power Supply Unit (PSU)
  • Processor (CPU)
  • Random Access Memory (RAM)
  • Storage
  • Video card (Graphics)
  • Computer Case (Chassis)

  • All in one PCs

    In an all in one PC, all these components are jammed packed in the chassis. So because of this, from people's experience, all in one PCs don’t last that long as there could be massive heat build up inside the unit
