Well i just built myself a computer, heres the basics of what needs to be in a computer:

A case- to put everything in

Mother Board- everything is connected to this

Central Processing Unit (CPU)- the brain

Random Access Memory (RAM)- short term Memory

Hard Drive Disk (HDD)- long term memory

Power Supply Unit (PSU)- gives power to the whole thing

Optical Drive- reads discs etc.

Graphical Processing Unit (GPU/Graphics Card)- makes the pretty pictures on screen

Sound Card (optional)- processes sounds

That's pretty much the basics.
