Books/Information on the component PC?

Question

Books

Hello.
Actually, I will describe what the problem is: my knowledge of PC components is at a slightly higher level than that of an ordinary user. But I want to understand better. Although at the university there was a subject "Computer Architecture", but everything is very bad there.
In this regard, I was looking for different books (and advised Tanenbaum). But it's all very detailed. I'm looking for something faster. For example, what is the cache in the processor for, levels, size, frequencies, etc. affect it. How a video card works, its main characteristics and what they affect. How the processor and video card work in games (to understand the "revealers" sect). What are timings in RAM and so on.
But the same Tanenbaum has everything in great detail, the same work of the processor.
Maybe someone knows the sources / books, where all this is described in a simpler way? Or in increasing difficulty?

Answer 1

The easiest way is to start building your own computer using the shopping cart of any online store. All-all emerging questions google until enlightenment.
Regarding the work of video drivers and processors on ixbt.com, there are good articles with theoretical calculations on how it works in this generation of hardware.

Answer 2

If you need general development, from the point of view of the consumer, in order to understand what timings are, why the memory size in the GPU shows little, etc., then just google, there are many good articles that explain in such a way that it will be clear even specialist. If, however, as a developer, then, probably, you still have to master Tanenbaum.
