Wires are almost always plain or zinc plated copper.
On older systems, the connector "pins" on cards are gold plated because gold doesn't oxidize. Salvage companies often buy old computers for their gold content. One computer won't be worth much but hundreds of computer boards might.

Copper and aluminum, some stranded conductors some solid.
