    5a. If yes, what size do you need.

    I think cuddles means what library/suite you're using.

    AMD + DL seems like a contradiction.

    I'm probably going to use one of the python libraries (tensorflow/keras or pytorch, haven't decided yet)

    Need to go Nvidia for deep learning GPU.

    Been eyeing the 1660 series in terms of cost Vs performance myself.

    Edit: keras and tensorflow easy to set up with Nvidia if you're going that route.

    The Chollet book is a good starting point if you're only starting out (I've the one for the R interface with Keras).
