The Xeon will be better for rendering. Also went with more reliable and a bit faster storage and a 1060 which also performs a bit better than the RX 480. Oh and also the PSU you selected was very low end. I switched it out for a much better one.

This is a bit over but I think it's worth the extra for the Xeon with hyperthreading.
