    What might be a great PC to buy for speeding up Unity ML-Agents training?

    My current PC is a few years old. (Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.01GHz. 16 GB RAM. Windows 10.) I'm unsure if I'm spending a lot of additional time training due to that.

    Thanks!

    Hi JPhilipp
    I'd go for a Ryzen 3 with 8 cores so that you can run more environments in parallel.
    This enables you to gather much more data for training.
    And the more data you have, the more of utility will be a recent nvidia GPU.
    If you train agents using visual observations, I'd suggest you to get a GPU with 8GB VRAM.
