The most popular CPUs are made by Intel and AMD

Motherboard,

The motherboard is where all the communication goes on, you need of these to be able to get the HD, CPU, RAM and other cards you might have added such as Wireless network card to work together.

RAM,

Random Access Memory, writing to the harddrive and reading from it takes a long time (to computers) and also causes wear and tear of the HD.

RAM is used to quickly store temporary data, and also quickly read data from it. Data stored in RAM disappears when the power is off. That's why only temporary data is stored there.

Hard Drive,

This is needed to store information permanently on your computer (unlike RAM).

You need this to have an operating system running, and other software you might want to use.

Power Supply,

This does not need much explaining, you need a power supply to get your computer to work!

Video Card

You need a way to interact with computers, though this is not ESSENTIAL for a computer to work, it is needed for a conventional desktop otherwise you would end up with a computer that does not tell you what you are doing, hence being completely useless. The most popular Video Cards are made by Intel, nVidia and AMD/ATI
