Last time I looked at MIT 6.004 the lecture slides seemed like they were useless without the speaker but there were no videos so I moved on.

Looks like there's been an update since so will take another look...

I started trying to read through the slides in the link and I felt the same way - this looks like fascinating stuff that I wish I understood better, but I got lost trying to just read the slides without a lecturer going over them. There were a few textbooks listed (including Hennesy & Patterson's excellent "Computer Organization"); I might check out the other two instead.
I'm finding nand2tetris much better for covering what I gather is mostly the same.

The 6.004 for 09 has more of the physics than nand2tetris but I can live without that
