Looking for PC Part Recommendations for Machine Learning

Asked By TechExplorer99 On

Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my older PC to better suit my needs as a machine learning engineer. I'm looking for suggestions on a processor, motherboard (with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), and RAM. I aim to use older models since I'd like to avoid frequent upgrades. I already have an external SATA SSD and a GT 710 graphics card, which is sufficient for my non-gaming tasks. However, I'm considering future purchases like an RTX 5070/5090 as my needs grow.

I've narrowed down my processor options to these four:
1) Ryzen 5 8600G
2) Intel i7 12700K
3) Ryzen 7 8700G
4) Intel i5 13600KF

For the motherboard, I'm looking at the **Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX**, which has great features like:
- 12+2+1 phase VRM with significant heatsinks
- PCIe 5.0 support
- Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3
- 2 M.2 slots with heatsinks
- USB-C 20 Gbps

I plan to get 16GB of RAM as well.

My main questions are:
- Which processor would you recommend?
- Are there any better motherboards for my budget?
- Will using older generation components affect Windows performance and longevity?
- Is it much worse to go with a single 16GB RAM stick compared to a dual-channel setup with 2x8GB?

It would help to know your budget, but given your usage, a higher-core CPU is a good move. The Intel i7 12700K is excellent for multitasking, but since you're in India and budget-conscious, consider the Ryzen options too, as they often provide great value for multi-threaded tasks. You could also look into RAM kits with higher capacities; they could definitely enhance your setup!

My budget is not that tight, around ₹50,000 (approximately $650-750). I’ve seen some reviews on older processors performing well, and I'm wondering if building a rig with those will last me for the next 5-6 years without issues.
