The components that form a computer system are:

The motherboard that is the base of everything on the system and has circuits on the board that allow the various components to communicate in a manner that allows productivity.

the processor, AKA CPU - Central Processing Unit: this is the brains of the computer system. This component accesses the RAM and performs actions and calculations on the information or data to produce the required answer.

RAM - Random Access Memory - short term volatile memory that holds information that will be fed to the CPU to perform the requested actions

Hard Disk Drive: Every computer has a hard disk that is the secondary storage and is non-volatile. This is the place on the computer that contains the files and documents one has created and saved.

Optical Drives such as CD Drives and DVD Drives that can be used to write information to for permanent storage and also to access programs that can be installed that will allow one to perform special functions.
