A DESKTOP COMPUTER CAN TYPICALLY BE DIVIDED INTO

SEVERAL MAIN PARTS.

A desktop computer can typically be divided into several main parts. Here are the
primary components of a typical desktop computer:

1. **Central Processing Unit (CPU)**: This is the "brain" of the computer that
carries out instructions of a computer program by performing basic arithmetic,
logic, control, and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

2. **Random Access Memory (RAM)**: Also known as memory, RAM

temporarily stores data that the CPU is currently processing or will shortly process.
It's volatile memory, meaning it loses its contents when the computer is turned off.

3. **Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid State Drive (SSD)**: This is where data
is stored long-term on the computer. HDDs are traditional storage devices with
spinning disks whereas SSDs use flash memory and are faster and more reliable.

4. **Motherboard**: The motherboard is a circuit board that connects all the

components of a computer. It allows them to communicate with each other.

5. **Power Supply Unit (PSU)**: The power supply unit converts electricity
from the outlet into usable power for the other components of the computer.

6. **Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)**: Also known as a video card, the GPU
is responsible for rendering images to display on the monitor. It handles the visual
data in a computer system.

7. **Optical Drive**: While becoming less common, some desktop computers

may come with a CD/DVD drive for reading/writing optical discs.

8. **Cooling System**: To prevent components from overheating, desktop

computers have cooling systems such as fans or liquid-cooling systems.

9. **Case**: The case holds all the components of the computer and provides
physical protection.

10. **Input/output (I/O) Devices**: These include peripherals such as a

keyboard, mouse, monitor, and any other devices you connect to the computer.

While there are more specific components within these broader categories, these
are the primary parts that make up a typical desktop computer.
