I look through the list of a few hundred windows packages at
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

The two packages that require CUDA 8 and CUDNN are 64-bit only. As far as I saw in a careful check, all other windows binaries are available in both 32- and 64-bit versions. The situation may be different on PyPI, but win64 will cover most thing likely to be used by a beginner.
