Hi!!

I'm about to build a new cheap pc.
The main use of this pc will be program (python, java, android, ios, c++) and some deep learning/ai light tasks.

I prefer intel cpu (better android virtualization) but i'm interested in ryzen alternatives.

Any advices?

By the way, i'm from Spain and my budget is about 1300 (but i already have a case)

That X470 board does not have bios flashback, so it would need a 1000/2000 series CPU, in order to update bios.

With this budget, CPU learning is more appropriate. I will get a Ryzen build with much more CPU power. I don't think a beefy gpu is necessary for your task unless you game too. My take:

OP prefers Intel...
And, not exactly a cheap budget build.

Love the case, I think you are good.

If I have one suggestion it is to buy a single ssd for both windows and storage. Perhaps a 1tb Samsung 970 evo plus. It is much easier to manage a single C drive space.

Thanks a lot!!!

I love yours builds with 3900x, i will take them into consideration an adjust to my preferences.

I know my system should be based on an i7 9800x or threadripper... Maybe in a few years xD
