If I were to learn everything about computers from peripherals to motherboards etc. Where would I start? Which is least hardest to most hardest?
 
Solution
Watch a youtube video of someone building a new pc (linustechtips etc)
As they install each part do some research on that part (what it is, what it does.. etc)
Look at the generations of processors (AMD- (phenom, fx etc) Intel- (pentium, i3,i5,i7,xeon)
Generations of Graphics cards (AMD- (HD series, R7 series, R9 series) Intel- ( GTX 5XX, GTX 6XX, GTX 7XX, GTX 9XX)
Different Ram (DDR1, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4) + timings 800mhz-2400mhz + dual channel, quad channel
Power Supplys ( 80+ ratings, power output thats neccessary, amps on 12v rail, single rail vs dual rail)
Harddrives ( size (1tb,2tb etc), speed (5400rpm, 7200rpm), (colour varients green,blue,black)
Solid State Drives (SSD) Difference between HDD and SSD, speed etc
Sound Cards...

Forgot motherboards... Different generation processors require different motherboard sockets.
AMD fx series require AM3+ mobo's, FM2 for processors with inbuilt gpu etc
Intel LGA 1150 past generation
Interl LGA 1151 new generation DIfferent generation names ( sandy bridge, ivy bridge, keplar, maxwell etc)
