Sounds like you're trying to complete a grade 6 project for computers.

 

What exactly parts are you looking for identification of? Specific chips on a board? swappable consumer parts? there's just way too much vagueness to your question.

There are some fantastic videos on the LTT youtube channel that not only goes over the parts, but shows how to build and install. I really recommend watching them

motherboard - the big board in which all things are installed (processor, memory, video card, sound card if desired, other extension cards)

cpu = central processing unit, the processor, the brains ... the chip that does all the calculations.

gpu = graphics processor unit  ... the chip that's usually on video cards and which translates instructions and information sent to it into images that are shown on the screen.

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.

If you mean model names like

  • Intel Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core
    • Brand, Model family, model name, clock speed, number of cores
  • ASRock - Z370M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151
    • Brand, Chipset with model name and form factor + mention of wireless adapter, form factor, socket
  • Corsair - Vengeance RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200
    • Brand, model family and name, "capacity", number of sticks, generation, clock speed.
  • Sapphire - Radeon RX 580 8GB NITRO+ 
    • Brand, Model family, model name, video memory, special version name (means factory overclocked or special cooling)
