    Build Advice DS/AI/ML build - first build in fifteen years - does it all work together?

    Here's the final list of parts. I made some adjustments based on my budget and potential use. With all the parts (including a 3060 12gb and six case fans) i was going to be paying well over 1600 dollars before tax and shipping. The changes got me down to a bit over 1500 after shipping and tax...

    Build Advice DS/AI/ML build - first build in fifteen years - does it all work together?

    That 4060 has a higher speed and less VRAM. According to some of my reading it is the case that more GPU memory is preferred for the kind of work i want to do because of everything that needs to be held in memory to do the calculations. The only GPUs at my price point with 12GB of VRAM are...

    At the risk of completely derailing the thread I'm going to point out that your point could be made much more usefully and helpfully by pointing out *why* adding RAM later is a problem and what I should do in *the future* given that I'm already butting up against my budget (that was explicitly...

    Hadn't settled on anything in particular yet. Expecting to buy PSU new (or refurbished) alongside everything else. Was leaning toward a semi-modular due to it having a lower price than a fully modular. As I've said earlier, i have an additional goal here.

    Question Plan - CPU compatible with RAM?

    I'm planning on a Ryzen 9 7900 CPU for ane build for Convolutional Metal Networks and other ML/AI. Newegg says that the processor works with DDR5 5200 and can only handle up to 128GB of RAM. If I start with Corsair Vengeance 2x48 DDR5-5600 then the CPU is going to limit it to 5200 as soon as...

    Question CPU compatibility with RAM

    I am settling in on parts for a new computer build. My main use case is Convolutional Neural Networks and then simpler machine learning/artificial intelligence applications. I'm planning on a Ryzen 9 7900 CPU because it should last for a while, it has 12 cores (24 threads), and AMD has some...

    Upgrade Radeon HD 5870

    Using the template: APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: ASAP, but I probably have a week or two. Motherboard does not have integrated graphics, and If I can't see what I'm doing then I will have a hard time studying for the computer-based finals. BUDGET RANGE: I don't have much budget for this. Maybe...
