Local AI PCs for image and video generation

Choose creative AI hardware around your models, application support, output settings and storage rather than a generic workstation label.

Start with an actual workflow

Image generation, upscaling and video generation are different workloads. Send the application and model names, the steps you intend to run and the output you want to create. If you already use a workflow, include its settings rather than just the name of the tool.

For images, describe resolution and batch size. For video, also describe output duration and any additional processing. This helps us discuss the hardware without promising that every model or workflow will fit the same specification.

Check software support before picking a GPU

Check the application's current requirements for the proposed GPU, operating system and software version. ComfyUI documents several hardware and installation options, but support still needs to be considered for your selected models and workflow.

More GPU memory alone does not establish compatibility. The quote should identify the selected GPU and system memory so you can compare them with the software requirements you intend to use.

Plan storage for more than the model download

Allow for applications, model versions, source assets, generated output and temporary files. Tell us how much content you keep and whether you will also edit or archive it on the same PC.

Separate application and model drives can be discussed for organisation and capacity. They do not automatically provide a backup. If you already have external storage, describe it without assuming its capacity is included in the new PC.

Compare creative and language workloads separately

A PC intended for chat and coding may not be the right starting point for your creative workflow. Tell us if you want both. We consider the named models, software and simultaneous use rather than treating all local AI tasks as interchangeable.

The quote covers the PC build and itemised operating system. Paid applications, model licences, subscriptions, model installation, workflow setup, monitor calibration and on-site installation are excluded. Parts, total and expected build timing are confirmed before invoicing; generation times are not guaranteed by the listing.
