I’m not sure what you mean by ideal. Like, run any model you ever wanted? Probably the latest ai nvidia chips.
But you can get away with a lot less for smaller models. I have the amd mid range card from 4 years ago (i forget the model at the top of my head) and can run text, 8B sized, models without issue.

A Relatively recent gaming-type setup with local-ai or llama.cpp is what I’d recommend.
I do most of my AI stuff with an rtx3070, but I also have a ryzen 7 3800x with 64gb RAM for heavy models where I don’t so much care how long it takes but need the high parameter count for whatever reason, for example MoE and agentic behavior.
