I'm software developer that has no idea what the fuck I'm doing with computer hardware. I'm a disgrace, I know.
I'm trying to get into it, and I've decided to build my own rig and learn about each part as I go. Does anyone know of any good, well-rounded reads I can flip through that will not only be informative, but also review products? I do know the VERY basics, but I really want to up my knowledge base. Im not necessarily looking for an all in one solution, a few pages that are trustworthy will do fine. I've browsed Google but I just don't know how to tell who REALLY knows what they're talking about, so I've decided to trust you strangers.
>Pic not relative
go to the apple store

Wikipedia.
Its well explained there.
Also whats there to know?
The cpu is the unit that translates /calculates binary to orders pretty much
The graphics card is responsible for heavy calculations like 3d modeling
The power supply as its name, supplies power.. Tranferring certain amounts depending on its capacity and if its bronze gold titanium
The ram is random memory that the computer uses since its faster to reach stuff in there, stuff that are active, like programs that you are currently using, games, your os.
Hard disk is a storage unit for everything... Pretty sure you know what this does
The motherboard transfers electricity(from the psu) to ports and cards and components connected to it, such as graphics cards, sound cards, usb ports..
Still. Read wikipedia.
My explanation is pretty shit.

Don't listen to this faggot >>55896513. The best thing you can do is to just go to http://www.apple.com/mac/compare/ then pick the right mac for you. If you have trouble with that, you can ask for support. If you need to build your own custom to rig to do any computing, you are doing it wrong.

I was wary to trust it but I did skim it. I'll read it thoroughly. Thank you.
