RAM:Random access memory (RAM) temporarily stores the data that you’re actively using while on your computer. RAM allows you to more quickly access data than if it was coming straight from your hard drive. If you are experiencing performance issues like lagging or freezing with everyday tasks, you may need to upgrade your RAM.

General internet browsing and/or running non-memory-intensive applications (4GB)
Gaming, video streaming, and/or running memory-intensive applications (8GB to 12GB)
Running applications related to high-resolution photo/video editing/animation/illustration (16GB to 64GB)

Hard drive: A hard drive is where all of the data on your computer is stored. There are two types of common hard drives Hard disk drive (HDD) & Solid state drive (SSD). Hard Drives lasts average 3-5 years. There are few signs indicates to replace the hard drive which can range from slower performance to corrupted data - these issues may suggest your hard drive is close to failing.

CPU: The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of your computer. It receives information (fetches), processes data (decodes), and performs calculations (executes). Your CPU has a large impact on the speed and performance of your laptop or desktop computer. It’s also a very simple component to change.
