First PC Build Blender PS/gimp unity

[senna27]

Hello everyone!

• My budget 1000 - 1300$
• My main workload is 3d Modeling, programming + game development also i like to play games
• i am looking to upgrade ryzen 5000 series + rtx 3000 series or amd 6000 series gpu near future also several sata ssd/m2 disks
• Turkey : pc parts price very high in local sellers pretty sad
• i used to PC-Builder Tool but these price doesnt match to my local sellers. Can you recommend a reliable online site to delivery Turkey ?

So this is it.

And which part i should upgrade first 6 months/12 months later. cpu or gpu? two stick 2x16 GB ram prices almost double. so i choosed 2x8 gb sticks. after few months later i can add extra 2x8 GB ram. would it be a problem?

Sounds good to me. The build looks fine! I am not sure if upgrading the cpu or gpu would make such a huge difference, unless you are putting some extra cash behind it. An upgrade from 3600 to 5600X is quite small for the money you spend on buying two cpus. Maybe upgrade to a 5900X so it's worth it. Same with the GPU: The 2060 is a fairly strong gpu already, upgrading to a 6800 might not give you the performance boost that you are waiting for, considering you are buying two gpus close together.

Any chance you can get the 5xxx series cpu now, get a chaper gpu now, and upgrade to a stronger one later? Would that make more sense?

I would look at the baseline 3070 GPUs if you can find one, only about $60 more. Sorry to hear Turkey is hard to get parts, perhaps you could start with a base gaming build on Amazon and upgrade a couple parts, sell the spares?

Thanks a lot for the answer. I am considering to decrease my first budget. Probably i cant go 5600x and 2060 for now
What what you think about 3100/3300x ? 4 core 8 thread these two or maybe 3500x 6 core 6 thread.
I have Asus G20CB pc. i7 6700 + gtx 970 stock. But my problem this pc getting old. almost 5 years past. my system's tempature pretty bad. I couldn't find 3100/3300x render test in your website. in Cpu benchmark list these are didn't incloud.

I will use blender(modeling,cad,animation,render,video edit); unity for animation and game dev; ps/gimp for some editing; visual studio for coding.

and what about 1600 series 1660 super/1660ti or amd side? i didnt research amd side yet.

if i go 3100 + 1660super/1660ti + a520 motherboard(asus tuf gaming series has good vrm) + nvme ssd 1080p monitor.
will it worth for upgrade against my current g20cb(i7 6700 + gtx 970) ? This answer important for me. i am wondering to your answer.

And finally i can plan to upgrade in future. gpu to 2000 series, motherboard to b550, cpu to 5000 series.

In your case, you may want to consider Intel, You can get an I5 9600k 6 core for about $200, and it boosts to 4.6ghz, which you can also overclock. It pairs nicely with any z390 board, which are around 100-150 bucks.

Will a 1660 work, yes, for sure, and I have worked on a couple jobs using one. They are perfectly fine, but you may want to upgrade sooner than later. 1660's are fantastic deals, but they do not benefit from the RTX acceleration that affects Optix in blender. I would try to stick with a 2060 if you can, but if budget is the issue, go 1660.

You are probably going to want to add RAM as your first upgrade, but 16 will get you by.
