[D] Deep Learning Project Hardware Requirements with $2K budget: large and complex dataset

Although it's been more than 8 months since I got into the field of applied machine learning (and deep learning in particular) for the sake of defending my thesis on an ECG analysis algorithm, I have yet to figure out the hardware requirements for an optimal setup that would take into consideration an intelligent use of the research grant of two thousand dollars.

I'm not a US citizen, and our country does not have Nvidia suppliers. My laptop is weak …
