My name is Michael Tibbetts and i am 15 years old. I have been into computers for a while, mostly gaming, but i don't know that much about the parts of a pc and what they do. If anyone could explain the basics of a pc or have any suggestions on how to learn i would really appreciate it. If you would rather e-mail me my address is Mikey_t07 AT yahoo dot com

Hi michael and welcome to techspot,

One of the best places to look for info on parts of a pc are the pc magazine websites, many of which have articles on how to build and upgrade a pc.
Just read a few of these and you will soon get to know all about the parts inside a pc.
Then when you know, you can get to grips with getting all the parts working properley, thats where this site will be of a big help to you.

Good Luck

Tips for builders is a good thread you might want to read, although maybe once you've understood the basic knowledge of PC components.

HowStuffWorks.com is a also a good knowledge source.
