So, I got my hands on a little bit of money and want to make a setup for game developing. I am using programs like PS, Illustrator, Gadot, Unity,UE4, etc. Also, Ito learn code (python primarily). I am kind of bored of playing video games so I want to try and make some interesting 2d and later on 3d games. Got a 1050ti from a friend for free with SSD 120 GB that I am gonna use for OS and my old 1Tb HDD for main storage. But I dont know what CPU to get. I can choose between:

 

1. Xeon E5 2628L v4 + MS X99 SLI plus (used ofc)

2. Ryzen 5 2600, 3600 or 7 2700 with Biostar AM4 B450MH

3. Intel i5 9400f with Biostar H110MDE

 

All combinations are gonna go with 2x8 gb ddr4 ram (differend speeds = gonna get faster for ryzen like 3200+) until I can get more money for more memory and much better GPU. I intend to mainly use it for game development and occasional gaming at 1080p on my monitor, but I can use my 4k TV as well when I get better GPU. So I want to know what is best buy for me cause all 3 option more or less cost the same. (Intel option is cheaper by 50 bucks then first 2) and what is future proof but also can help me a lot with working on my current projects.
