    It's a quad core processor, it's what does all the work inside your pc, although if you don't know what it is you probably don't need it !

    its a computer's processing chip (presumably with heatsink), if you buy one and add a hard disk, motherboard, graphics card, some RAM, a power supply, case, operating system, keyboard, monitor and mouse(and maybe an optical drive & wireless card) you'd have a conventional 'desktop computer'.

    That's just the processor 'chip'. Not what you need, I'm afraid.

    What's broken about the base? If you tell us what kind it was, someone will point you in the direction of the best value replacement.
