FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS

Today I decided to give Vim a try, as it is praised as something godlike here and in many programming communities. I didn't go for it for the popularity thing, but because I think it could help me out more than Sublime which I've been using for 2 years now. I'm into full stack development, I work as one and I do front and back end and even some mobile apps. I also use Windows because I can't care less to change to Linux because I'm used to Windows, I like Photoshop and Illustrator (I know Wine is a thing nowadays) and I play some games from time to time. It has been three fucking hours as I installed Vim and I didn't even manage to put in a "proper" theme because all of those that come with Vim are awful.

How and why the fuck did you start using Vim? Should I just give this shit up and go back to Sublime, probably miss out on some saved time which will build up way more than it will take me to get a grip of Vim? Why the fuck are there no proper tutorials or guides regarding how to use it? I've been trying to install a theme (colorscheme) for 3 hours because I can't access the vim folder and none of those "~./vim" and similar paths don't work and why is my $HOME set to C:\Users\Anon and how do I change it to be able to access the vim folder with cd $HOME?

Seriously, I'm so close to giving up on this because I'm wasting my time with it and not even moving anywhere with it.

If you want help:
>Assemble parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/
>State the budget for your build (and country if not USA)
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
>Vega soon.

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.

I have an old Motorola Xoom with a Tegra 2 T20 1 GHz dual-core CPU, which is underwhelming obviously. I never use this thing because I ended up getting an ASUS Zenpad which I also rarely use. I never see a good chance I either use my Desktop in my office, my t420 or smartphone (xperia z3) in public or in bed.

What can I repurpose it to do, rather than just sitting there powered off?

I might just make it a digital clock in standby, while also using it's front-facing camera to livestream my home while I am away at work.
What's the best way to accomplish this?

Hey /g/,

Was looking to start programming and decided on C++. I was trying to find the best way to learn it, but then heard all online resources are shit. I heard textbooks were better.

Anyways, what is the best method? Any recommended material? Thanks.
