He was also talking pounds not dollars, so with the exchange rate difference, i thought it might be possible, unfortunately, they have nearly the same retail pricing just with the symbol changed so a 570 or 580 is the way to go unless he wants to buy a used gpu.
 
 

Fractal Design, there is no substitute.
Meshify S2 perhaps?
 
 
If the Spec Alpha's side window is too small, have a look at the Spec Omega.  That may be more to your liking.

You're going to get notably worse thermal performance with a painted heatsink because the thermal conductivity of paint is incredibly low compared to metal. You could try anodizing the fins perhaps since that creates a very very thin layer.

There are many places that you might be able to save some money:
Get a 2600 instead of a 2600x Get a B450 motherboard Cheaper RAM Get a 550w PSU Get a cheaper SSD It's pointless to quote pricing in USD; you're not using USD, and it'll only confuse those trying to help you build plan. USD pricing is irrelevant to you.
It's better to link the store you will be buying from, or people can change PcPartPicker to your local country.
As @fasauceome suggested, look at used parts. The CPU and GPU can both be pretty safe to buy second hand.
 
Welcome to the forum.

If you are using it professionally and the render time differences make that much of a savings to your bottomline step up to the processor in which you think will help you the best, I was merely providing advice as to what I thought the best bang for money spent would be until the newer Zen 2 3000 series are released.

Just giving em options, i am running a cx600 and have 0 issues with it, even with continuous use, the only real benefit i see for the capstone is the modular design, and possibly the higher wattage for future uses, but its their money,
 
I will be the first one to say i like to pinch pennies in places...... and for $20-$35 even pre rebate that CX is a good bang for the buck. 

Get the best and largest power supply you can afford, they can be recycled and upcycled numerous times. 
 
Also get the most best ram you can afford, especially if you plan on upgrading your chip or gpu in the future.
 
Its much better to buy once and cry once, then be cheap and buy, then cry then have to rebuy then cry yet again!

So i am running the Asrock B450M Pro4 on a 2600 for myself and its plenty, and hopefully since i got the chip when amazon had them for $150 on sale I should be able hopefully to upgrade to the Zen 2 architecture come July ( fingers crossed AMD isnt like Rockstar lol )  but for the price I dont mind paying once for a chip ill replace in 5 months or so.  Now if you want to run a 2700 or 2700x, then I would reconsider the want to replace it with a 3000 series unless you absolutely have to or the profit potential from work offsets the expense, as it seems counterinuitive to to buy a near flagship level chip only to swap it out in 5-6 months.
 
Even a 2600 or 2600x would atm be a huge jump forward on the multicore workstation level compared to your gen 1 i7.

If you get a decent board now you wont have much to worry about. Even though B450 came out after X470, doesn't mean anything. Those are budget boards. X470 offers the best/most features for the Ryzen platform. The only thing that will limit the performance on Zen 2 is thermal throttling or crappy VRMs. A good B450 or X470 should hold up just fine, even with higher core count processors because going to 7nm lithography will reduce power consumption (heat output) as well.
 
I would just get a 2600 for now over a 1700 or 1700X, it's little newer and a little faster and should be around the same price, it just lacks 2 extra cores. Get whatever you want, though, if it's only a placeholder. A 2600 will probably be easier to resell, though, so keep that in mind.
 
These are boards I would personally use and should hold well for an upgrade to Zen 2...
 
B450:
MSI Pro Carbon
MSI Tomahawk
MSI Mortar
 
X470:
MSI Pro Carbon
Asus Prime Pro
Asus Strix
Asus Crosshair VII
Gigabyte Gaming 7
Asrock Taichi
Asrock Fatal1ty Gaming K4
Asrock Master SLI
