Ok, so both Minecraft and TF2 and barely multi-threaded. Like Minecraft is almost entirely single threaded and TF2 can't use more than 4 threads across 2 cores. As such I would have recommended a CPU with less core to save money, but you are doing programming. Do you do lots of programming and are you being massively slowed down by your compiling times? Because compiling is extremely multi-threaded and the 3800X is a great choice. But if you aren't focusing a lot of time and effort on programming I would instead recommend something like the Ryzen 5 3600 or the 3600X. I won' be recommending the 3600XT because it is not worth the premium over either the 3600 or 3600X

 

You also do 3D rendering, which is mostly GPU dependent, but that depends. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500
