Greetings,
I want to build a PC build that is possible for future upgrades (next few months). I’ve detailed my current situation and future plans below.
1. Purpose: My primary focus is on data crunching and AI/ML development, alongside high-end VR gaming experiences. The system should be capable of handling intensive computational tasks with the flexibility to upgrade components for enhanced performance in the near future. GPU/CPU/RAM etc for this can be upgraded in future if required.
2. Budget: $700. Also open to second-hand parts if it means better initial value or performance. Additionally, I plan to invest an extra $500-1000 in the coming months for upgrades, focusing on a build that supports upgradability.
Accessories like monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker etc not needed. Also have a spare 512GB SSD and hard disk.
3. Location: Mumbai, India. I’ve identified several vendors known for competitive pricing and reliability:
- Amazon India: [amazon]
- Prime ABGB: [primeabgb]
- Elite Hubs: [elitehubs]
- **Game Loot: [gameloot]
4. Brand Preference: None except your recommendations
5. Current Parts: Getting RTX 2080Super or 3060Ti or RX6750XT for 180$
6. Overclocking: maybe, I intend to overclock with a view to future component upgrades.
7. Resolution: My current setup operates at WFHD resolution.
8. Build Timeline: The assembly is planned within the next few days, recognizing that prices and availability are subject to change.
9. Software Needs: No additional software purchases are required for this build.
Additional Details:
- Upgradability: Withing one year, planning to upgrade but much sooner actually —selecting a case, motherboard, and PSU that facilitate easy upgrades. The goal is to accommodate a high-end GPU and potentially other high-performance components in the year ahead.
- Upgrade Motivation: : to enhance my capacity for data analytics and AI/ML project work, and to start my VR gaming experience.
- Peripherals: keyboard, mouse, monitor, Bluetooth/WiFi receiver) etc and will not need replacements.
I look forward to your recommendations on how to best approach this build, particularly in making initial selections that align with my upgrade aspirations.
Thank you in advance!
