AI Rig Parts Planner
Size CPU, RAM, PSU, and storage around the GPU or unified-memory tier you picked.
This keeps the GPU as the sizing anchor because VRAM limits usually dominate local AI builds.
CPU 6 to 8 modern cores
RAM 32GB system RAM
PSU 450W quality PSU target
Storage 1TB to 2TB NVMe SSD
- Keep the GPU as the sizing anchor; CPU overspending rarely fixes VRAM limits.
- This power tier is easier to cool in a normal airflow case.

Why This Page Exists
Unique value
This page is unique because it translates the selected AI hardware tier into supporting component targets, not another GPU ranking.
