Yup - mobo, memory, processor (with cooler), graphics card, HDD & CD and (maybe floppy disc drive).
OS = Operating System (probably Windows XP)

No, he's referring to the fan and heatsink on the processor (cpu). (Which then plugs into the top face of the motherboard).

Not really, but you should be aware not everything just fits. There are different types of motherboard (mobo) which take different types of processor (AMD or Intel are the most common). Even mobos vary from ATX (the most common) and Micro ATX (smaller to fit mini tower cases).
Memory MUST be the right type (check Crucial's web site once you have a mobo).
Graphics cards, HDDs, CDs and floppys are all generally universal if you stick to straight forward ones.
