Miscellaneous Computer Components: The Ultimate Toolkit for Your PC
Beyond the core components (CPU, RAM, storage), a PC relies on a network of "miscellaneous" parts for smooth operation. These include the motherboard, the central circuit board connecting everything. Power supply units (PSUs) provide electricity, while cooling fans keep things from overheating.
