Unfortunately, this time around the majority of AI build up are GPUs that are likely difficult to accomodate in a random build.
If you want a GPU for graphics, well, many of them don't even have video ports.
If your use case doesn't need those, well, you might not be able to reasonably power and cool the sorts of chips that are being bought up.
The latest wrinkle is that a lot of that overbuying is likely to go towards Grace Blackwell, which is a standalone unit. Ironically despite being a product built around a GPU but needing a video port, their video port is driven by a non-nvidia chip.
My use case is for my own AI plans as well as some other stuff like mass transcoding 200TB+ of..."Linux ISOs" lol. I already have power/cooling taken care of for the other servers I'm running
I've already got my gaming needs satisfied for years to come (probably)
gaming can work on one GPU and display on another, thunderbolt egpus do it all the time.
