Beginners AI/game PC
Posted by Motijani28@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 1 comments
Hey everyone,
Last time I built a PC was around 2010, so I'm basically a boomer in PC building years. Need your eyes on this before I pull the trigger.
**Use case:** Running large language models locally (14B+ parameter models with RAG setup). Privacy is important so everything needs to stay on-premise. Will be processing a lot of documents and need the VRAM for inference.
**Budget:** Not really a concern, just want it to work reliably.
**The Build:**
[PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/)
**GPU:** NVIDIA RTX 5090 32GB (if I can find one at reasonable price) OR RTX 4080 Super 16GB as backup
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
**Motherboard:** ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi
**RAM:** 128GB DDR5-6000 (4x32GB) G.Skill Trident Z5
**Storage:**
* Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe (OS + models)
* Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SSD (data)
**PSU:** Corsair RM1000x 1000W 80+ Gold
**CPU Cooler:** Noctua NH-D15
**Case:** Fractal Design Torrent
**Questions:**
1. Is 1000W enough for the 5090 or should I go 1200W? (Spec says 575W TDP + 1000W recommended PSU)
2. Any compatibility issues I'm missing?
3. Overkill on the RAM or justified for large vector databases?
Thanks!
