  1. So. I've been researching and following AI/ML for some time now and have been following up some courses online. I'm going to be joining college in a month or so. Now i have my parents permision to buy titan v because i will not be able to afford future upgrades, so this will be it. I wll be squeezing every last bit of investment i'm putting into this. My budget is $3700 ... so. heres what i understand. -RAM, GPU and Storage is Crucial. RAM - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Corsair-Dominator-Platinum-Series-32GB-4-x-8GB-DDR4-2666-PC4-21300-2666MHz-C16/283036773409?epid=691261448&hash=item41e64e6c21%3Ag%3AgWIAAOSwVXZbOj9K&_sacat=0&_nkw=Corsair’s+Dominator+Platinum&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0 1. Atleast double the memory of the GPU (titan v has 12) so 32gb 2- Secondhand because ram unlike CPU, GPU and Motherboard does not degrade a lot in performance from overclocking. 3- Clock speed does not need to be crazy because most current cpus only have limited system memory I'm probably wrong about system memory.Correct me please. 4. Also Intel will soon be releasing a Optane persistant memory. what are your thoughts on that? Will it preserve my work if the power goes out (I live in India. so this will happen very often). What are your thoughts on use of server memory like Load Reduced DIMM. 5. Talkingabout server memory some Current CPUs support ECC memory. I've read on some other forums that ECC is not a big concern for beginners but for a well trained model ECC is a must. so Later maybe? CPU- This one I'm most Conflicted about.... Intel or Ryzen? ... more cores or more GHz?... ECC or non ECC? This one has to be solved in Comments i guess. GPU- Titan V (single) The heart of my build. I chose this Despite of AMD's upcoming 7nm Vega Instinct because CUDA is more popular than steam cores. AMD might gain traction in this department soon because of their open source platform. I don't care about the leaked 32gb hbm2 or 20TFLOPS of speed. It will probably be another Accelerator card or a very expensive replacement for quadro GV100... not for me Radeon instinct MI25 was a excellent competitor to titan XP but they went and made it a accelerator card. Their marketing and engineering department is like a troubled marriage with excellent children. Seriously! you make the best deep learning oriented GPU... WITH hbm2, BEFORE nvidia and still be behind in that race. I can also earn from rendering other peoples work from some cousin of mine who works at an architecture firm startup. I can partner with them when i can learn how to render using ray tracing and explore the house in VR.... Far fetched plan but good plan. this will be state of the art in my city. titan v is actually cheaper on EBAY for only $2600 but im too paranoid to buy from there. STORAGE- SSD good HDD bottleneck... Optane Better...SDD Okay... but Optane is good with HDD so. - Optane SD 900P 280 gb with a good high memory HDD will be good. I need help here with the hard disk types and if there are any new ones oriented toward this purpose. PSU and Peripherals- One perk about TITAN V is that the Computer need not run for days. so long runs are not a problem. Neither am i going fancy with RGBs and Peripherals. Only CPU will be Chilled and i cannot afford GPU cooling. im not sure i the RAM needs cooling, and the optane has a heatsink of its own. The Case will probably have to be open case and will be operated with the AC and fan running in the room. There is no monitor because i have a LG 4K 60Hz Smart TV. probably the one Linus has at his test bench. The computer will be at home for safety purposes and will be remotely controlled by me from another city. yeah and thats it. I'll install Ubuntu 18 as the OS and Windows 10 (pirate4evr)
  2. how do i squeeze the last bit of performance out of the titan v's 6.9 TFlops fp64 compute. without bottlenecking The build need not include a monitor, i have a 4k tv. since multiple GPUs are out of the question a smaller form factor pc is possible. i also have two 1TB external hard drives so i can just add a single intel optane 16 gb in for permanent storage. if possible please add the reason for the parts selection choice.
