Deep Learning Neural Network build

[raj800]

Hey guys,

I am currently working on a Neural Network based project, and right now am using an old laptop for that. my laptop's gpu is not supported by tensorflow so i am thinking to build a pc. Its my first time with PC hardware so i don't have much idea on actual hardware but am a regular linustechtips viewer so have some theoretical knowledge of PC building

 

For neural networks, GPU is the king. 95% work will be done by GPU, so I need a system with a decent GPU maybe 1050 or something more than that.

Basically anything more than Compute Capability 3.0 will work for me but more the performance, better it is. I have attached the list of supported GPU's.

 

RAM speed doesn't matter but amount of RAM matters maybe around 8GB . CPU doesnt matter at all. But I would like to have decent CPU to handle all daily tasks (and also some gaming )

The reason why I am asking about gaming is that,
I am trying to build a neural network for self driving car
and i am going to use GTA V as a simulator.

 

so while training only GPU will be used

 

but while testing network
I will have to run an windowed instance of GTA V with my neural network, so it should be able to handle this load

 

 

I am from India and my budget is around Rs.60,000 which is around $925 (US).

 

So can you guys please suggest me about what hardware to choose?

It would be really helpful for me.

Thanks in advance.

The PSU you choose is fine.

No need for that aftermarket cooler, theres a cooler come with the CPU and its more or less the same cooling quality.

Any chance to go for a 3000hz RAM?

the difference is in the CUDA core count. for ML project, more cuda core means faster calculation (more parallel threads).

I'll try, apparently pcpartpicker is showing incorrect and much lower price (about $20 difference). So now i have to check price on amazon to be in budget.

I'll be back as soon as i figure out about the pricing

Is there any difference in Mini GPU card and normal GPU card

Corsair VS550 550-Watt Power Supply

 

WD Blue Desktop 1TB Internal Hard Drive

 

AMD Ryzen™ 5 1400

 

ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS AM4 AMD RYZEN B350 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 HDMI ATX Motherboard

 

HyperX FURY Black 8 GB CL15 DIMM DDR4 2400 MT/s Internal Memory (2666MHz overclock)

 

Zotac GTX1060 Mini - PCI-Express Graphics Card (6GB GDDR5, CUDA cores 1280, 192-bit, Base: 1506 MHz Boost:1708 MHz, ICE Storm Cooling, VR Ready)

 

This would go around $920

Going to 3000MHz is increasing the cost by a fair amount.

then its fine with any 2400-2666hz ram.

mini gpu vs full size one doesnt matter that much, especially for ML porject. mini one tend to be noisier since only one fan.

not the VS PSU. go for the CXM550. VS is not good quality.

for psu, find anything that is in tier 1,2,3 in this list that can fit into your budget

What about GTX 960? it has 1024 CUDA cores

GTX 1060 has 1280

 

are they close? or is there processing power difference?

 

[raj800]

Intel 8th Gen Core i5-8400 Processor or Ryzen 1500X ??

what should I prefer? 

both are around same cost

i know its out of my budget but just curious to know

 

[raj800]

In

ryzen 1400 + GTX 1060

 

will Ryzen become bottleneck while gaming?
