CPU
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit the CPU has four primary functions:
Fetch, decode, execute and write back.There are 3 types of Cores to the CPU, these are Dual, Quad and Single Core. The quad core is faster because there is 4 processers sharing the same job,
Furthermore the quad core will also be hotter because there is 4 of them. For instance if I have got an i7 quad core
2.2Ghz it will be 8.8Ghz.

SATA cableThe external SATA ports
provide the same function but for an external device. Most
external hard drives are already formatted. You just
connect the data cable (as you would if you were connecting a
USB device).

External Cables
Some of the external cables are, USB, mouse, keyboard and VGA. These are all slots at the back
of the tower, you will need the mouse and keyboard to actually use the computer and If you wanted to connect a monitor you would use the
VGA.
