New PC build for animation and coding

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.

 

Budget (including currency): 1000-1200€

Country: Slovakia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Creative Suite, Blender, Unreal Engine, 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):

 Thank you.

the 5600x and the 3600 cl16 at least, and get a 650w psu, and if you can get a 5800x in there it would be much better, as for gpu, try for a 6800, otherwise a 3070 or even a 2070 super, but overall a good build

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?

If you can wait until the RTX 3070 is back in stock it would be awesome paired with a Ryzen 5 5600X (or wait for the 5600 and save some money). 

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.

Since you're using it for content creation and I guess you don't wanna spend a 1000$ on an expensive 4K display this one would be a good choice IMO.

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 already have PSU but it is a local manufacturer so I could not find it on PCPartPicker

   PSU: 1stCOOL White Storm series 85+ 700W - 50€

   Keyboard: Keychron K1 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard (Version 4) - 70€

 

I need help with deciding which CPU to choose: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Ryzen 7 3700X?

Also, RAM recommendations would be great. I know AMD likes fast RAM, so I would go for something that is 3600MHz and CL16 a 16GB KIT.

GPU...well everything is out of stock so I have no idea. I was thinking about AMD Radeon RX 5500XT or 5600XT ?

 

Thanks in advance.
