CPU

As we have previously discussed, even though you will carry out the intense computational tasks on the GPU, the CPU will still be responsible for processing the informative results that are computed. So, it is good practice to choose a CPU with a good number of cores with efficient threading per core. For multi-GPU setups, the more Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) lanes a CPU supports, the better it is for the GPU to handle data. An AMD Ryzen CPU can be an ideal choice for your first build.
