A FEW IMPORTANT NOTES:
1: At the end I said cooling is not required. I went off script here, I meant to say "additional cooling". Any fans your CPU or case comes with are most certainly required.
2: A GPU is technically a component within the Graphics card (CPU is to Computer as GPU is to Graphics card) but if you're thinking about building a computer the terms are used interchangably. Every graphics card comes with a GPU inside of it and they are often referred to as GPU because that is the defining characteristic of a graphics card.
3: Solid State Drives are the same thing as hard drives, just with less space and faster speed due to the lack of spinning disks.
4: A GPU is technically not an essential part of a computer. You can boot without it. But to do almost anything desktop computers are good for, you will need a grahpics card.
A brief explanation of what each component in a home PC does.
FINALLY a video that actually helps beginners and not assuming we already know all this!
Very true Haha
Just watched someone else and I was like what the fxck is he talking about 😂
I have this problem watching people like Linus.
@@Codemeleon Same. Could not understand all these specific names while even when he built a computer from scratch 😅
yep, a breath of fresh air honestly
@@Codemeleon once you know whats going on watching linus is the best
Ah so the RAM is your inventory slots and the Hard Drive is your Chest, thanks minecraft
And SSD's are shulker box
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
No, your RAM is your hotbar and your Hard Drive is your inventory.
Hotbar is cpu cache
Well said
Ok so let me get this straight
Case is your skeleton
Motherboard is your heart
CPU is your brain
Hard drive is your long-term memory
Ram is your short-term memory
Psu is your stomach
GPU is your eyes
Thermal paste is Incognito
Edit: cooling is your sweat
Ya pretty much
SSD is ur fast as fuck boi memory
GPU is a part of brain
@@lasypvp1012 so true faster than a hard drive Albert einstein must've have a 100 terabyte Ssd

These terms have been thrown at me my whole life and I didn't know it was so easy to learn them! This video CLEARED SO MUCH CONFUSION FOR ME. THANK YOU
No problem! Thanks for watching and i'm glad it helped!

"You can think of it as an extremely advanced AC adapter"
Me: "What is an AC adapter!?"
Your phone's charger.
Anything’s charger
It is ana acronym that refers to the Alternate Current (energy).
To make more context you have to know that out from your socket comes Direct Current (see videos that explain what Direct Current and Alternate Current are). What the Power Supply in you PC does is converting this Direct Current (or DC) in Alternate Current (AC), so your computer doesn't fry and distributes the energy throughout the entire components.
@@0918only lmao ac = anything charger
YESSS OMG
I am a student of computer science studying CPU and Hardware in details and this is the most accurate and simple description of PC's parts. Even helped me with some clarification about ram's relationship with HDD. Such a great job.
Hey friend, I’m interested in computer science and was wondering if it’s worth it? I’m not good at math, but I love mechanics and computers
@@nakimeto same question
@@nakimeto It's not worth it if you live in London but it may be a good idea to start your own company and hope for the best
I have to say, Sir. These videos have been so informative, I can't stop watching them. I was raised around computers, Dad has built every computer he has ever owned. Because of that I built my first at age 14. Joined the Army, put the computer knowledge to the side to seven this Nation. However, 10 years ago I was given a TBI (traumatic brain injury) which depletes my short-term memory and hinders my very old memories. These videos awoken that side my dormant brain. It feels so good to begin to remember that which was dormant in my brain. Thank So much!
God the other videos about PC parts are so complicated and have like 500k+ views,and you-you did a fantastic job expaining things so clearly and the vid doesnt even have 1000 views.Thank you so much!Do not quit uploading such perfect videos!I tell you,your hard work will pay off.
Thank you! This is exactly what i'm going for. Complex things explained as simply as possible. I encourage you to look more into the specifics!
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about

try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it.

like stephen hawking lmao
Ur exactly right
So hard drive is a drug storage and ram is drug dealer?
Haha, in a way yes.
Pretty much
haha that's funny but true 😁😁
hahaha, Nice way to remember it
haha thats actually a good way to say it xD
So what you're saying is,
the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell?
Its The Endoplasm ...DUUUUH 😏
No, it’s the nucleus
The GPU is the real powerhouse, but we arent ready to TALK about that, are we fellas?
You know I was thinking that's what he was getting at, but I didn't want to say anything.
No
Thanks!
Its so cool to see all of the parts come together to make a computer
yeah, its like learning about the human body and what it does

It is the best star wars game series though
My laptop can't even run that i think lol-
GTA 4: ;)
compared to et from atari, yes
A good example I think is that the hard drive can be seen as the basement, where there’s lots of storage but it takes long to get. But the Ram can be seen as a closet where it’s faster but less storage.
Great explanation 👍
Your explanation of them is easier, thanks
And the CPU is the person who lives there and is deciding what they need so they go back and forth moving things around
The CPU acts like my mum
Excellent. I can see it plainly. Thank you for saying that.
Okay, I’m 4 years late but…How pleasurable was that? Straight to the point, didn’t talk a lot of crap about things that’s irrelevant. Extremely informative. I have to subscribe to this channel.

I feel stupider cus i had to learn this but smarter since i learned it now
Bruh I feel more stupid. I built 6 PC's
I showed the "Computer parts Explained" to a class I am teaching of 6th graders and it seemed to help. Excellent explanation, it really made it easy to understand.
Haha, teaching life hacks. Just use someone else's video to teach for you.
Honestly though, that sounds effective, an edited video makes it easier to concise long information more directly and in less time. And if someone has questions, you could use the extra to answer them. Making more use of the time period
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
I just started my journey for IT Solutions Apprenticeship. And first lesson was on Computer Components, and you explained it so much better and in less time. And someone in comments improved it a bit further. Than you so much
As someone who is just getting into computers and has no back ground in them, this really helped break everything down and simplify it. Thank you

And you still don't remember it from school lol
@@HarryDKH I was a beginner about a couple months ago and it was a very intimidating feeling to have all the parts laid out but here I am after a few builds and it’s so rewarding

We never got lessons about IT in our timetable
@@carinalll7278 he's probably talking about university where you can get a degree in computer hardware engineering and learn how to make this stuff
IKR
when i was kid, i was taught the case was the CPU XD
How the fuck does that happen

I have learned much since then
I thought the computer was the screen XD
Same lol

I'm building a PC with my 8 year old daughter. I can explain all these parts but I suffer from over explaining and caveats (like SSDs). This really simplifies it all for a new person to PCs.

I Really apprectiate your comment! Thanks man!
i remember watching this video back in september 2020. this was the start of my interest in computers. now i have a pc with a 30 series gpu, and im signing up for every. computer class offered at my school. you started my interest, thank you
I did not know a thing about computers, from this video I feel like I understand more than I ever have about them. It was the best video I could find about computers and their components, which was explained so flawlessly I feel I have a much better understanding as whats going on in that big case. Thank you so much!
I knew everything for 10 seconds and forgot everything.
@I'm a Motherfucker • 67 years ago i laughed too hard on this comment :v
Me after watching this video:
"I see. Pretty simple. Now I understand. I'm ready to build the best PC in the world!"
Me waking up the next morning:
"What is a GPU? (Search 'computer parts explained' on youtube and start watching this vid all over again)"
i feel you hahaha. straight in, straight out. and never coming back in again lol. im sorry i just have very bad memory storage. its a very good video tho.

Oh god. This was such a short and sweet explanation! I tried to read about these things many times and have failed to understand.. and here it is, uploaded 2 yrs ago.. such a clear explanation. Cant thank you enough!!!!!!
true
I usually don't comment but this was by far the best simple explanation of how a computer works that I have ever seen, of course it just covers the basics but a lot of people want to know just that. Great work.
Just maybe add like a link where you go into more detail on some of the parts.
wow this video is honestly perfect. i recently got my new gaming pc and was annoyed because i didnt know anything about it. thank you so muchhhhhhhhhhhh
Did a really nice job explaining RAM vs Hard Drives
*SHORT SUMMARY:*
PC is made up of 7 main parts:
Case - Holds everything together.
Motherboard - Connects all the parts to each other.
Power supply - Gives everything power.
CPU - Tells the other parts what to do and when to do it.
Hard Drive - Stores programs and data.
RAM - Allows you to use those programs and view that data.
Graphics Card - Lets you see everything.
Well put! I was initially going to say your CPU explanation is too simplified, but the more I think about it pretty much everything the CPU does can more or less fit into that explanation.
About the graphics what kind of games can you play on it and when do you know if you need a upgrade for it?
Some cpus have intergrated graphics which can render simple 2d scenarios like docs. However the graphics card can render parts in editing software or gaming. The cpu just processes what everything does
physicks_ytッ If u are willing to learn, don’t learn from comments. Bitwit is a great TH-cam channel which explained it. Essentially the graphics card renders all the images on the screen. For more intense gaming or editing you need a good graphics card(1050 ti or Obove probably) and a cpu which doesn’t bottleneck. Bottlenecking is when one part prevents another parts full potential
H3Vtux does the graphic card help you get higher fps?
This is very well done and straight forward. Recently, I was discussing hardware requirements for Microsoft Teams with my 5th grade class. I was forced, of course, to use terms like CPU, RAM, etc., but many of the children hadn't learned this vocabulary. Take pride in knowing that your explanations are so straight-forward that all of my students understood basic computer parts and their functions by the end of your video--that's quite the accomplishment! Thanks.
I clicked on this video with a closed mind since I don’t understand computers much. Now, I can finally understand what people mean when they talk about computers. Thank you! (That made me sound old… I'm 14)
An absolutely amazing video! I've read countless books and websites thinking I already know complex terminology and I got lost in all of the information. This video is amazing at putting all of the information into manageable pieces that are easy to remember and ideal for beginners, thank you so much for the video!!
Thank you so much for this, I didn’t realise how long I have taken PCs for granted and when I finally began looking up more about what goes on behind the scenes I find this very helpful video introducing me to this fascinating way that computers work.
This was amazing man 2 years old but gave me the fundamentals of the different PC parts thank you so much
Thank you! My brother built my pc, and with him living far away now I have to have him guide me through replacing pc parts through video chat. This really helps me get an idea of what's going on in there.
Hey youtuber. This was the best explaining video on the internet. It really helped me out and im no longer confused. I have watched a lot of videos like this but they dont show anything but in this video it actually draws it slowly and clearly and you explained everything. TYSM for the help. Have a great day. :D
This is the most informational and straight to the point video ever! 5 stars!
this is awesome! I'm looking at buying my first PC and even though I have a ton of friends who know a ton about computers, no one has been able to explain the hardware for me yet.
This information is phenomenal. I appreciate the detailed specific information that I've been searching for but unable to find until now. Kudos.
That was the best explainer video I have ever seen well done Sir well done

the only video on components on YT without a ridiculously ridiculous accent. Thank you
I'm impressed and honestly kinda amazed because you just taught me more about computers in a little less than 8 minutes than my computer applications teacher did in 2 entire years. (ok to be fair she just taught things I already knew but STILL)
We don't get to learn about computers in school anymore :[. My old teacher didn't teach anything besides telling us to type one or two paragraphs using Microsoft word and called it a day. Now that I have grown to love computers, school just cancels the subject, like literally wtf
Love the simple, down-to-earth explanation of everything. Also, the fact that he used Half Life and KOTOR as visual examples makes me feel like all is right in the computing/gaming world. 👍
Agreed love those games 👏🏼
RAM is like the Short Term Memory.
HDD/SSD is like the Long Term Memory.
GPU is like your Eyes and Mouth.
@little s gaming what does that even mean lmao
CPU is mouth because it gives instruction to the others
@@BriH.-if2ns that's actually not true, he said Every part in the computer is a brain smh
I have RAM loss
Gpu is eye
Just what I've been looking for, a quick overview with pictures. Thank you, kind sir!
Another tip if you’re going to do a lot of gaming, look into some cpu coolers, they are pretty much a necessity if you don’t want to overheat your cpu
I know nothing about computers and this was an amazing video
I’m trying to learn about PCs, and this helped me out by a ton. Thanks so much.
Five years later and this is still the best video. For showing my friends. What I'm talking about with computers.
For those who don't understand the true role of the GPU/Graphics Card I'll tell you a thing:
So to better understand the true role of the GPU just imagine a person that has eye problems:
This person would see the world around very VERY blury and unclear _alone_ without glasses; *Just like a motherboard ALONE without a GPU when projecting graphics on the screen; very blury and impossible to read.*
Now imagine if this person would start wearing glasses. This person would see the world around VERY clear and 'colorful' _together_ WITH glasses; *Just like the same Motherboard TOGETHER **_WITH_** the Graphics Card this time; projecting everything clear now!*
So basically the GPU is like "glasses"...
And, yeah... I hope you understood! :)))
Interesting explanation, thanks!

I am a student from the First Technical School of the Second Class, and I've always been fascinated with concepts that include Digital, Networking, and also Peripheral. Today, in the course of the evening, I've been chosen to work at the workplace that's named CompuManiac, which lives up to its name. The people that I met with in there the other day were pretty nice and welcoming. Subsequently, at this time right here and now, this is where I discovered this video right here. It contains all the valuable information I need to contain in my brain, purposely for being aware of how each component of computers deals with. I honestly can not thank you enough for this heaven-sent gem that contains the requisite amount of convenient description about these components. With that knowledge that I possess, I'm now able to deeply understand about the structure and programming that emphasize on each and every computer.

hey dude, I'm thinking of building a PC, but I'm just wondering roughly how much did it cost? ... cheers
Just Mee The variety is huge. You can spend anywhere from $300 to over $2000 depending on the lever of performance you would like.
BitsBytesGaming thank you :)
Hi Just Mee. Your pos is old but if you haven't started yet I thought I would put my 2 cents. Sadly the current time is one of the worst times to build a PC. The cryptocurrency mining trend has caused so many people to by them that the prices are hugely inflated, particularly for CPU and GPUs. If you can hold off, you might want to wait another year or so for the rally to cool off a bit.
H3Vtux thanks dude yeah I noticed that it was quite on the pricy side yeah I think imma wait till I finished GCSEs, the prices will have hopefully dropped by then, oh well lol thx mate
Thank you so much. Know I feel confident. You are a Legend in the electronics world
for minecraft ppl out there, heres my way of explaining through minecraft ways:
cpu = you. the player, youre the one that does things
case = your house, thats where everything is nicely kept (depending on how you play, it may not be nice but we shall ignore that for the sake of my argument)
power supply = is kinda like coal, it runs your furnace and it gives you smelted things so ig thats a fair comparison
motherboard = i dont know, all i know is that it could be a villager trading system idk
hard drives = a chest
ram = inventory slots
graphics card = torches and other forms of lighting? they make everything brighter and look better so that is probably a good comparison
Perfect explanation
Cloud storage services would be your end chest
My classmates kept allways talking about pcs and their parts and i didn't understood a thing, thaks to this i can now clearly understand wgat they were trying to tell me, thank you very much!
