If you could buy any single CPU system for chess . . .

Milos is probably talking about the cost of building a system himself. I don't have those skills or knowledge.

If your footer actually means you have a PhD, then you are smart enough to watch a youtube video and build your own system.

Theres very few things to screw up when building.

I know enough to know what I don't know, and that it's a job best done by a professional, not an amatuer.

It is less a question of smarts, and more of dexterity and experience. I have built several PCs from components, and you _can_ ruin the cpu chip or something else fairly easily. Get a tool with a magnetic tip because you will drop a tiny screw someplace awkward. I prefer to do the assembly with my son as I often need a third hand, but then again I am nearly hopeless with things mechanical/electrical/plumbing.

My suggestion is to just ask around and find someone to give you a hand. Like many things, it is remarkably easy, _after_ you have done it at least once. If you know any gamers, many of them build their rigs and a high-end machine learning system is somewhat similar, at least the expensive gpu card.

Like most endeavors in life, you need good instruction and experience
