Hi! I am looking to upgrade some of my current PC Parts and looking for advice on if my new build makes sense. I am mainly looking for a build that will be good at running Blender and Adobe programs: Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, InDesign, Premiere. My current PC Specs CPU: Intel i5-4690 Motherboard: ASRock Z97X RAM: 8GB GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Power Supply: CORSAIR RM Series RM750 750W Storage 1: 1TB 860 Evo Storage 2: 2TB HHD I am looking to upgrade my CPU, Motherboard, and RAM. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H2ZBZf CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor ($326.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($114.99 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($135.99 @ Newegg) Case: NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.98 @ Amazon) Total: $647.95

Mainly Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I might use Premiere and After Effects for personal projects, but that wouldn't be often.

Main software I use is Adobe Suite and I plan to learn Blender for fun.
