Pc Build Planning Help/Guidance Needed

[SignorC]

Budget (including currency): $1000

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe CC, Light Room, Blender, Photoshop 

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): 

 

Need some recommendation as to which route to go. I have the option of purchasing a refurbished HP Z840 and then add NVME SSD and GPU upgrade after. or get an entry level Ryzen 7 build.

Will mostly use the PC for Adobe CC, Light Room, Blender, Photoshop some light After effects and Premiere.

 

Thanks

The ryzen  build doesn’t factor in the price of a gpu

I don't think the HP z840 is a good idea since old-school Xeon won't have good single thread performance, which is crucial in Photoshop and Lightroom CMIIW, and yeah the build list didn't account the 1200 dollar needed for a 2080Ti. You probably could downgrade the motherboard to a B450 Tomahawk, cut the expensive storage and power supply, to squeeze a midrange GPU to accelerate your workload.
