I'm a computer science student diving into AI and machine learning, and I'd also like to play some indie games. I'm planning to build a new PC with a budget of about 1.7 lakh INR (~1,927.80 USD). I'm considering both AMD and Intel/NVIDIA options since I've heard NVIDIA cards are great for AI tasks because of CUDA support. I'd definitely want at least 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’d suggest going for a build that fits your needs. For around your budget, you might look at something like a powerful Intel CPU with 20 cores, which can run AI tasks pretty efficiently. You could also consider adding 96GB of RAM (but 64GB will work fine too) and dual 2TB SSDs set up in RAID 1 for redundancy. An RTX 5070Ti would be an excellent choice if you're looking for graphics performance, especially for both AI work and gaming. Just make sure you have a solid 850W PSU!
That build looks solid! Just a heads up though, I have a tight budget of 1657 euros, and I'm not sure that air cooler is enough for the core ultra 7 plus the motherboard only has Wi-Fi 6E.
