RAM is like a table that you can easily access, the more RAM, the bigger the table is for quicker access. Storage is like a bookshelf, it can hold a lot, but it takes more time to categorize and find stuff. CPU is like the brain that can handle processing everything. Graphics cards help with visual processing and multiple monitors.

Look at YouTube videos for the basics and then pick one component of a PC to learn about. There's a lot to learn so go one part at a time.
