Comment on Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for?

I was really hoping to cannibalize the 32 GBs of DDR3 RAM but I couldn’t find a MoBo that supports it anymore. Then I saw DDR5 is the latest!

I don’t really do any gaming. If I wasn’t going to tinker with AI, I’d just need a card for dual DisplayPort output. I can support HDMI but…I prefer DP

The 4070 TI will give you quite a few years out of it for sure. You could also completely forego the GPU and get a couple of CUDAs for a fraction of the cost. Just use the integrated graphics and you’re golden.

  Are CUDAs something that I can select within pcpartpicker? Or is this like a cloud thing?

    I’m not sure what they were trying to say, but there’s no such thing as “getting a couple of CUDA’s”.
    
    CUDA is a framework that runs on Nvidia hardware. It’s the hardware that will have “CUDA cores” which are large amounts of low power processing units. AMD calls them “stream processors”.

  What is this sentence? How do you “get a couple of CUDA’s”?

    Dude, you KNOW I’m talking about TPUs. The name escaped my mind at the moment. Sorry if my English is not to your royalty level. Are you really so hired that you have to make a party out of that? Ran out of credits on pornhub or something?
