Building a $300 PC to run Qwen 27B locally with dual RTX 3060 12GB — advice wanted
Loose_Doubt367 · reddit · 2026-10-21
A user plans a dedicated $300 build (excluding aesthetics) to run Qwen3.8 27B at Q5KM or higher locally. Planned parts: 750W gold PSU, dual-GPU motherboard, 2x RTX 3060 12GB (24GB VRAM total), CPU below an R5 5600X, and undecided RAM capacity — they want to avoid overkill like 64GB DDR4. The thread solicits RAM and component suggestions.
