What is the function of each computer component?

Each computer component serves a unique purpose in the overall functionality of a computer system. The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of the computer, responsible for executing instructions and processing data. The random access memory (RAM) provides temporary storage for data and applications that are currently in use. The hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) stores long-term data and programs. The motherboard connects all components of the computer and manages communication between them. The graphics processing unit (GPU) handles the display of graphics and video. The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all components. The input/output (I/O) devices, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor, allow the user to interact with the computer.
