What CPU should I get?

Big-Boy

Hello

 Specs: 

CPU: I5 6400

RAM: 2x16GB 3200mhz

GPU: gtx970 (will upgrade to gtx1080)

 

I mainly use Vray, Lumion10, Autocad, Sketch up, Photoshop, and some Word and Excel. (On 1080p, 60Hz)

I need help with what CPU I should get. should i buy a Ryzen 7 2700/2700x? is it too weak or too powerful? what does that program i use need more, do they need a more powerful CPU or GPU? any suggestions?

Depends on what you render with. For viewport performance  in vray and lumoin having more cores would be a big benefit the other applications are mainly single threaded and like faster single core performance. So a nice balance would be a ryzen 3600 or the soon to be released better 5600.

 

For the gpu some of these applications have gpu rendering that is accelerated by the rt cores in rtx gpu's so that may be a better upgrade.

I would wait the next couple of days to see what Zen 3 has to offer on November 5th from reviewers on YT to hear their opinions on Zen 3 CPUs (AKA Ryzen 5000 series). The only problem is there is a high likelihood that there won't be enough stock of these CPUs on launch day so you may be out a couple months.
