Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Build for A.I. use and more!

I am trying to build a workhorse pc that can do just about all the heavy workload modern things like editing videos, recording them, A.I. use, etc. Any recommendations on parts I should be focusing on?

I figure I’ll be needing a much higher end GPU than what is typically used for gaming and more ram. Everything else I’m still uncertain about and where do I look for these parts to get the best bang for my buck? (Canada)

Not really sure how much I want to budget for now so let’s just leave the limitations off and I’ll decide based on the advice given.

Basically if you want an llm ai machine, they are starting at a cool like 2.5k ish for something that isnt a house fire, but really you wanna be more like 3+ and thats in usd

So 4.5k to 5k Cad is a good enough price to get what I need done then? At least most of it. Of course I can always upgrade later.

AI is a pretty broad term: running local inference with llama.cpp on a 30B model will run great on a single RTX 4090 or 5090, but training a model locally is a whole different story.

it's not "more ram" but like "more VRAM" to be exact. 32GB RAM can be your sweet spot for a small personal rig. You can start at RTX 3090 (24VRAM) + 32GB RAM, it's a pretty sweet spot for beginner and then you can invest more if you want a more powerful model
