I'm a little unclear of your question; however..
CPU your looking for Core type; and frequency (ghz)
Input output (referred to here-in as I/O) is a measurement of throughput on a given device, it in itself is not something that is measureable element; more of a measurement itself in reguards to the speed.
Memory is measured by Type (SDram, DDR, DDR2, DDR3) Generally speaking DDR is the standard for current day computers; and DDR2-3 are presumably faster (and more expencive) I'd go with the DDR2 ram; the higher the number ie DDR2 PC-6400 ram the faster, make sure your mainboard/motherboard supports the ram types; the manual or product specs on the board will list what speeds or ram it is compatible with.
Bus speed is simply put; how fast all of the components are connected with another.
Long of the short; component by component in the low/mid range price segments you 'generally' (not always) get what you pay for.
Your computer will only run as fast as the slowest/worst part of it.
Spending 2000$ on a processor and only having 512megs of ram and a 50$ video card; in most applications is a horrible waste of money.
