Sorry in advance if this isn't really in the best forum.

I'm seeking help.

tl/dr - I'm needing to get up and running at home with studying ai. I'm looking for developer-preferred resources for getting a system to start this journey.

I've been in the development field for 20 years, but I've spent a lot of it on a Mac. Building out a pc system that can handle larger models for keeping up in my career is a bit of a daunting task. Search results are polluted with a lot of promotions. Prices have skyrocketed. It makes knowing where I can safely start very difficult. Can anyone point me at material that can get me in the right direction?
