Parts of a Computer

Here is a list of computer parts for the system. Some are required for the system to function, Some are optional but yet needed for the system to be functional and then there is devices that is completely optional.

 

I have included the cost of each part. This price is only an estimate price for you to get an idea of the cost of building a system. Their is many factors in determining the cost of the part. New technology will always cost more than older technology. The location that you are looking at will list their own prices. Systems already put together from major computer companies are usually cheaper than if you put a system together due to the fact that they can buy in bulk.
