Hi there -
My last build circa 2008 is no longer adequate for what I plan to do in Fall. I am back in school and will be starting with hard core machine learning and artificial intelligence course work that would require lot of computing power (my peers tell me that even on their 2-3 year old fast computers, each project run takes a day or two).
I have not built anything for 10 years and need some advice with choice of the chip, motherboard and gpu. Since RAM is expensive, how much should be enough?
I think my computational needs will only increase over time so upgradability is crucial.
Budget is ~$500 - $1000 and I have all the software I need (including OS).
TIA for any tips and suggestions.
PS working with cloud service such as AWS is not an option right now.
