CPU Choice

[A4N0NYM0U52]

Okay, heres the deal: I have 1300-1400 USD budget, I just want the computer mainly and I don't know what to choose Ryzen 5 3600 (or should I wait for Zen 3???) or a Ryzen 7 3800. I'm going for the Ryzen 7; Is it the best choice?

Oh yeah, this is for 3D modeling and gaming

some 3D modeling tasks benefit from extra cores, are you rendering or just making models?

ryzen 7 is good at handling rendering, but i would recommend waiting until the new cpus and gpus release as they could be better suited for your tasks, and even if you dont want to buy the new released stuff, previous generation cpus and gpus will become cheaper which should allow you to spend on something like  better cpu or more ram

Ryzen 7 3800X isn't a great deal unless it's literally the same price as the 3700X, but the 3700X is an absolute beast for the price, especially for rendering.

I do rendering and make my own models. I mainly want a well rounded PC.
