Question Build guidance
Hello all.
I am looking to build or buy a pre build setup mainly for running local AI models of upto 34B parameters and also gaming (nothing to fancy but games like Valorant etc)
I currently have a MSI - Codex R Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5-12400F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 1TB SSD
And I also have a GMKtec M7 Ultra Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U (MAX 4.7GHz), 32GB RAM 1TB SSD.
But both of them are not good enough to run larger local AI models.
I looked into some systems that come with unified memory that could provide an added advantage when it comes to running local model.
But i wanted to know the best step forward and if there is anything I can do with my existing systems before purchasing a new one.
My gmktec has a dedicated Oculink port where I can attach an external GPU dock, but that would almost cost the same as some systems like frameworks.
What are your thoughts on best step forward? Should I sell these 2 and get a new one and can I do something with my existing ones
