Do these require significant amount of CPU power or not really?

[ali.hmi]

as i've heard they need a lot of cpu power with high core count and parallel computing, i dont know much firsthand as i havnt done it yet

Is specific GPU + specific CPU and decent rest the only requirement?

[ali.hmi]

at first i wanted to buy everything from the same store so that i could pay at month per month but when i see the price difference da****mn, i might just get a loan from the bank and buy everything where its cheapest. thanks for the recommendatios

well, you don't necessarily have to get loan, if you have smaller budget, you could opt for slower parts and upgrade them later, for example CPU,

 

some of the things you mentioned might be GPU accelerated, not sure about data science, but AI is

[ali.hmi]

thats true but i would like to be able to play games as well, and bank loans here are pretty good as a student i pay little interest rate which is pretty good

if that's the case and you're fine then it's okay,

 

for reference though you don't have to spend considerable amount of resources on parts you might not need,

 

you said you're doing AI and data science projects, is this something part of your school? if yes, then one more question would be, if they require you to have the fastest workstation PC money can ever buy, or if a midrange PC is enough, because if midrange PC is enough,

 

and if the school requirements isn't strict and 200% priority, you could get cheaper CPU, or in turn, better CPU for gaming,

 

but it does depend on what you need of course.

[ali.hmi]

yes it's for school and they actually dont require us to buy the pc i was gonna get a pc to be able to work at home since i live far from the university, but as you said i wont need the best parts i could just upgrade down the line, but i keep bouncing back up to the higher range,

i guess i could go for a more budget pc and upgrade it as needed. 

i'll work on a more reasonable build do you have a good recommendation ? the more reasonable budget would be 1600 - 1800

If I were you, I'd strongly consider waiting until you start the course(s) before you buy anything, because often these projects are really simple and would run on a potato.

 

In terms of a lower budget option, a 4070 non-Super would be fine for 1440p/60 and even a Ryzen 7600 is pretty fast for most kinds of usage, though the 9000 CPUs could be worth considering too, due to the big uplift in some scenarios (you can check benchmarks on places like Phoronix and Puget).

[ali.hmi]

yeah i'm getting a bit ahead of myself, i've been wanting to build a pc for a while just wanted to be perfect for everything

i will wait and ask the researchers at the university, thank you guys for the insight, appreciate it

no probs, there's no shame in not getting the fastest parts, some people rock GTX 1050ti and are satisfied, it's just a matter of what you need, not really that much what you could have,

 

of course you can have headroom, but it doesn't have to be 3x headroom
