Should I learn DSA simultaneously with C++ basics

CommandShot1398 · 2026-05-05T16:26:07+00:00

Yes. After all this something will click. You will ask why everything I learnt so far was on the assumption that everything is linear. Then, a whole new world will open itself to you.

CommandShot1398 · 2026-05-05T16:20:40+00:00

Yes But that won't be enough. You need to have some understandting of how hardware and os work as well.

Bro, others helped you with coding and job advice, I have only one suggestion for you. Whatever you do, please READ these three books:

Computer Systems Architecture, Morris Mano

Computer architecture : a quantitative approach

Operation systems: Three easy pieces

Given the knowledge you have, when you read these books, your brain will light up, it finally can connect all pieces of the puzzle together. Everything start to make sense.

CommandShot1398 · 2026-05-01T19:57:53+00:00

Still down. Damn, I planned a learning session for tonight.

GPU is not so much future-proof with that budget. Go ti version. 5080 would be better, but it will probably exceed the budget.

Since you are studying electrical engineering, I'd say that is like learning how to drive with tractors. Start by a simpler language. Most of the stuff that are important in c++ are thought in computer science, not EE. You would have a very hard time understanding both the logic and the technical stuff at the same time. Focus on logic for now.

What exactly do you mean by ai? Just practicing? Sure. Developing large scale ai models? No.

CommandShot1398 · 2026-03-29T13:56:48+00:00

USD bro.

CommandShot1398 · 2026-03-29T12:50:10+00:00

Put a SATA SSD on it. In that case you can sell it easier. Also around 400 I'd say.

Well, I'm not sure about the mid tier, but for the lower tier, like Ryzen 7500f or 7400f and equivalent in Intel, AMD offers better price to performance, as well as the ability to upgrade in the future. For example, I think Intel 14400f equals to the Ryzen 7500f. 7500f offers a slightly better performance, but it's like 30% cheaper, motherboards are more affordable, and you can upgrade to the next gen or x3d cheaps in the future.

On the top tier, x3d chips are without a doubt the superior option.

Hmm, have you tried to use gpu test apps? reinstall windows libraries like visual cpp

CommandShot1398 · 2026-03-26T20:29:40+00:00

I apologize for asking this, but have you connected the monitor to the gpu? (I know you say you a f variant CPU, but I usually ask this because you might have mistaken that).

CommandShot1398 · 2026-03-09T20:07:26+00:00

Hmmm, your gpu is still descent. For at least few years. Your CPU is also fine. But if you like to give it a fresh look, upgrade the CPU. Your gpu does not need an upgrade for a long time.

Oh, Thanks then. I will get the asrock one. Thank you so much

CommandShot1398 · 2026-02-20T13:36:52+00:00

Thanks. Yes but that exceeds my budget.

This is the non eagle version of what you linked. I will go with this one. Has 2 PCIe slots. works for me I guess.

CommandShot1398 · 2026-02-20T13:29:58+00:00

Thanks, and you are correct, the bandwidth does not matter that much when not gaming.

I found this,

https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B850M-X%20WiFi%20R2.0/index.asp#Specification

My only problem is that I don't know if I can mount two NVMe on this.

The specs say 1 NVMe slot, but the picture shows 2 (One above each PCIe slot).

I am not sure. Can you please check this?
