The Old man needs a suggestion

I work as a MIS Manager in Silicon Valley for 20 years and retired over 10 years ago. I had to pass a half dozen of Microsoft tests so I could get certified. I fell behind in computers so I would just like to study a book like I did in school so I can highlight and underline, sort of like the olden days to exercise my brain which seems to be going downhill. The A+ is 80% non-useable which I obtain 17 years ago. PC Build for Dummies would be demining. So does anyone have a suggestion of a book to learn about CPU’s, Mother Boards, RAM, Video Cards, and what makes a computer tick? I'm going to build another computer but this time I would like to make sure I know what I'm doing. I just need to exercise my brain before senility sets in.
 
best way to keep sharp is to browse these forums and ask questions.like you just did.lol. think of your brain as a huge iceberg covered in penguins.as you get older the iceberg melts and more and more penguins fall off.this is your memory.lol.keep the ice cold.

I'd venture to guess that most books would be outdated by the time the editors are finished with their proof read lol.

What are you talking about? That applies to all books, and EdX is the best universities in the world providing courses online for free.... you don't get much more up to date than that...
 
I didn't mean to offend you, I was just making a general statement about books in general. My comment was not in reference to any schools, universities, or courses. Im sure EdX is an amazing institution.

I agree with you. If you want a computer book, make sure it's not more than a year old.
