I am still in school but working on a degree in IT management. One of the courses I took recently was 'Computer Architecture and Systems Programming' - this is the course where it really started to sink in, how the bus works, how the I/O works, how the stacks feeding the CPU works etc. The textbook was 'Computer Organization and Architecture' and although the technology is always changing, it's still based on the same principles. https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Organization-Architecture-William-Stallings/dp/0134101618/
Tom's Hardware is a great site for keeping up with what's new.
edit - it's a combination of things I learned in this course that helped me to understand why I want more PCI lanes, so to achieve the most from the new system I built I changed my motherboard from an H270i to a Z270i - this information all starts to fall into place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#LGA_1155
Hit the books ! More specifically this one : https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Operating-Systems-Andrew-Tanenbaum/dp/013359162X it’s a great book, it explains the concepts really well and also has code examples. Tho I recommend reading about computer architecture a bit to understand it better, this is also a great book for it https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Organization-Architecture-William-Stallings/dp/0134101618
But really read all of the tanenbaum’s book, I got an A because of it, it’s an amazing book.
Hello,
I attended this course at the time and this is one of the textbooks I remember of:

After that you will need to play with assembly x86 a bit and that's it.
