There are many different components required in building a PC:

Case or Chassis - Holds all the components together

Motherboard - Links the components of the PC together and is very important

Power Supply - This provides all the components inside of the PC with power (with an external connection to a power socket)

Central Processing Unit (CPU) - Handles all the calculations and operations of the PC, examples are Intel i7, AMD FX etc.

Random Access Memory (RAM) - Stores the running applications and data needed for the computer's operation

Hard Disk Drive - Stores the programs and operating system of the PC, also comes in SDD variety (solid-state, faster and more expensive)

Graphics Card - Not required but very common, allows PC to run graphics-intensive software such as games and video editing (most CPU's have powerful integrated graphics now)

Optical Drive - Not required but extremely useful when installing software, comes in different formats such as floppy disk, CD, DVD, blu-ray etc.
