Low budget PC for Simple 3D Modeling Without a GPU

Budget (including currency): 600$ which translates to around 17,200,000 Iranian Toman

Country: Iran

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I want to start simple 3D modeling in Blender, and my brother would be happy with any game over 30 FPS in 1080P

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): 

I have used blender in the past six months with my Lenovo Z51-70 which is really a pain in the ars, sometimes it gets so hot that I use it to warm my drink

since my laptop's GPU didn't have the power and compatibility with blender I used CPU for 3D work before and I think if I get a good enough CPU with a good cooler it would do the job for me

 

Right now I want to build something that could just get me through the learning process until I get a job and one day be able to afford a GPU

 

In my country finding parts is a little tricky but I managed to make both an AMD and Intel Version of what I think is reasonable for what I want to achieve with my budget

 

So this is what I came up with

System Parts

 

AMD

CPU: Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G 6,190,000T=215$

Motherboard:

TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II 2,380,000=82$

Or

ASUS PRIME A320M-C R2.0 1,600,000=55$

 

Intel

CPU: i5 10600K 7,120,000=247$

Motherboard:

ASUS PRIME B560M-A 2,900,000=100$

Or

ASUS PRIME B460M-A 2,850,000=99$

 

 

Ram:

Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 CL16 2,370,000=82$

Or

G.SKILL Aegis DDR4 2400M CL17 1,780,000=61$

Cooler: DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400K 544,000=19$

HDD: Seagate 2TB BARRACUDA 1,290,000=45$

PSU: Silverstone Et650-G Gold 2,890,000=100$

 

I tried to aim for more cores with integrated GPU(APU) and increase upgradability for the future

I had another plan as well, spend as low as I can on ram, CPU, HDD, and motherboard to save up for GPU, it was a good plan but when I looked at the whole thing it looked terrible

it went kinda like this

GTX 1650 (second hand) 9,500,000 - 15,000,000 = 330$ - 520

i3 10100F 2,300,000 = 79$

ASUS PRIME H410M-K Motherboard 2,340,000 = 81$

Apacer Panther 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL17 Single 720,000 = 25$

Western Digital Blue 1TB 899,000 = 31$

Green 530W AB PSU 985,000 = 34$

(Green is a brand that only exists in Iran but it's kinda Chinese) in summary, I wanted an upgradable, well enough for 3D modeling PC within a low budget which is kinda impossible if you add the GPU

 

now at first, I want your opinion about Both AMD and Intel versions and what do you think is better for my needs?

and second what are your suggestions about how I can reach my goal?

do you have any better ideas that could make a powerful PC without going over the budget?

(if yes then please keep in mind that some parts may not be available in my country)
