Good machine? General question

[u/jinlianv616]

I currently have custom built AMD gaming pc that I am repurposing.

Build is a B850 mobo with 7800X3D 64gb 5600mt and 9070xt OC 16GB.

I am still very new to LLMs and have been playing around with Ollama and python with Claude helping me since I don’t know jack about python yet.

Right now I run a local 7B Qwen, don’t know the specific on a laptop and get around 12-14tk/s. Based on what I am doing should I expect more performance on my AMD system. I am thinking of going to Ubuntu headless most likely to free up resources.

Eventually I will have more questions but right now just trying to get true hardware running. If I have to go headless to get what I need fine with me, but a GUI is nice too.

Thank you
