Approximate prize

1
Motherboard/ Mainboard As the name indicates, this is the electronic centerpiece of the computer: everything else connects to the motherboard. Visit to know details about Motherboard http://computerknowledge.net/MotherboardE1.aspx

$46 to above
Average:
$50-$200

2
Processor/CPU  Central Processing Unit, the "brain" of the computer, most actual computation takes place here. Visit to know details about Motherboard http://computerknowledge.net/DefinitionProcessorE1.aspx $65 to above
Average: $65-$450
3
RAM  Random Access Memory, the "short-term memory" of a computer, used by the CPU to store program instructions and data upon which it is currently operating. Data in RAM is lost when the computer is powered off, thus necessitating a hard drive. Visit to know details about Motherboard http://computerknowledge.net/RamE1.aspx $10 to above
Average: $10-$25
4
Hard Drive  The primary method of storage in all desktop computer system is a hard drive. Visit to know details about Motherboard http://computerknowledge.net/HardDiskE1.aspx $30 to above
Average: $50-$150
5
Power Supply/ PSU Power Supply Unit, converts outlet power, which is alternating current (AC), to direct current (DC) which is required by internal components, as well as providing appropriate voltages and currents for these internal components.  $10 to above
Average: $13-$125
6
DVD or Blu-ray Drive (Optional)  To run or burn DVD, CD etc. $14 to above
Average: $14-$18
7
Video Card (Optional)  Pretty much every desktop processor now features an integrated graphics processor. This makes video cards more specialized than they were in the past.
