Thanks for the suggestion. I already have the CPU, I had to decide between Ryzen 5 5600X and 7 3700X but as I need if for multi-core workloads I decided the 7 3700X will be better, so I already ordered that yesterday. I will wait for the prices to drop in January and order the GPU. Do you have RAM recommendations?

Budget (including currency): 1600€ Country: Slovakia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, Adobe Creative Suite, Unreal Engine, graphic design, coding Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hello Please, help me find the ideal GPU and RAM for my build which is finally coming together after one and a half year.

PSU: 1stCOOL WHITE STORM 700W - 52€ Keyboard: Keychron K1 version 4 - 70€ I have around 450-500€ left for the RAM and GPU. RAM: I really want to get a 2x8GB KIT of 16GB 3600MHz CL 16, but right now it is out of stock from every single brand in my country. I can wait till mid January though, as my case will arrive that time, so hopefully RAMs with these specifications will be available again. What brand should I go for? I was looking at Cruciall Ballistix which is around 80-90€. What do you think? GPU: The situation is the same, everything is out of stock, but hopefully January will be better... My budget is around 350-400€ (if I deduct the RAM) I was thinking of RTX 2070 Super or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. Can you recommend exact models? If I go with AMD I would purchase the Sapphire version, but if I go with NVIDIA then I was thinking about ASUS or GIGABYTE? Thanks in advance.

The options are: Asus ProArt Display PA278QV 27.0" LG 27UL600-W / LG27UL550-W / LG27UL500-W PHILIPS 27" LED 272P7VPTKEB

thanks for the tip, I think this is an awesome monitor for the price. Right now there is a deal on it at one of the retailers in my country and I could get it for 290€ instead of 360€. Thanks

I am not sure if I can afford a 3070...I need something that fits my budget and also needs. I could get an AMD Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT for around 340€. I know it does not have ray tracing but the price/performance wise it’s not bad. RTX 2070 Super costs around 500-560€ still. Can you give me advice regarding a monitor? I would like it to be 27” and IPS panel.

That sounds good but it has to fit my budget...I don’t think I can afford any 3000 series GPU right now. I’m kind of hoping that the 2000 series will be cheaper soon. Can you recommend a monitor though?

Hello I really need help finalizing my build for content creation, coding. So far I have two versions, but both of them are missing the GPU as I have no clue which one to choose and which one would fit my needs and budget the best. Should I choose Ryzen 7 3700X or Ryzen 5 5600X? Should I go with 3200 CL16 or 3600 CL16 for RAM? For PSU, is 550W going to be enough or should I go for 650W? I also need help finding a good monitor. My budget for the whole project is 1700-1800€, but for the build with the monitor is around 1200€ as I still have to buy a pen display - Huion Kamvas which will be around 250€ + peripherals. Please, help me with the fine-tuning of this project, as I would like to start learning and working on it in December.
