Well a lot depends on what you're planning to use your PC for. However, the typical components are - a processor, a motherboard, RAM, hard disk, monitor, input devices and a CD/DVD drive. If you're a gaming enthusiast then you may consider adding a discrete graphics card.

For my opinion, i do think that for a home PC, if you are a beginner, it is essential that you have a preset PC with software all installed with the hardware that you may need. Basically to operate a PC, the usual hardware that will be inside will be motherboard that is the platform for the devices that makes the PC work. The devices on the motherboard are processor, the speed will depend on how much processing power you need, for accounting and calculation, or data processing, you will need bigger processing power, if not, then lower and cheaper solution is suggested. Then Hard disk, is where all your information is stored, if you plan to store alot of movies and images, then bigger hard disk is recommended, if you are doing some home work or job application, then you just need the basic storage amount. Then graphic card will depends if you are a gamer, graphic designer or those that need high resolution graphic, then you need a good graphic card, if not basic will do. Then sound card is the same as graphic card, if you are into music and like to mix music and creates great sounds, then you will need a better sound card. The rest of additional hardware would be your input devices. ROM (read-only memory) is where CD and DVD is read. I would suggest a rewritable ROM. That enable you to write and store stuff into CDs and DVDs. The rest that you need are keyboard, mouse, and modem (to surf net) either wireless or not. Lastly you will need software to run the PC. Windows are user friendly. Have it install before you get it from the shop would be easier. I hope this helps.

"2.8 GHz Processor or better"
That is utterly untrue. 2.8ghz for a P4 might be low to medium range but for AMDs that is high range or overclocked range. Something like an AMD X2 2.0-2.4 ghz is very powerful. Likewise the AMD Athlon 64's will clock in about that same spread of clock speeds and all will perform, many just as good or better than P4
