Good afternoon,
I would like to have some feedback for my first PC build.
Software: mainly Blender for modeling and rendering, Maya, Nuke and Mari. I would use them as a student.
OS: Rocky Linux because that distro is supported by Autodesk and The Foundry. Additionally, I do a lot of programming, and Linux is perfect for that.

The prices below are taking into account Black Friday deals:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz (239 €)
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING OC 12GB GDDR6 Rev 2.0 (332 €)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600MHz PC4-28800 32GB 2x16GB CL18 (52 €)
Storage: Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 7300 1TB SSD M.2 PCIe 4.0 3D TLC NAND NVMe (111 €)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 (166 €)
PSU: Corsair SF750 750W SFX 80 Plus Platinum Modular (194 €)
Fan in the front: Corsair iCUE H100i RGB ELITE Liquid Kit (125 €)
Fan in the back: Corsair RS120 ARGB PWM 120mm (18 €)
Case: Corsair 110Q USB 3.0 (102 €)

Total: 1340€

When I was looking for a CPU, I was thinking to buy a Ryzen 7, but that Ryzen 9 is ridiculously cheap, so I decided that I couldn’t miss that opportunity…
  • In overall, is it a good choice? Should I spend more money in some piece and less in another?
  • Is the PSU power ok? Or maybe is it too much power?
  • What about the RAM? As a student that I am, should I consider 64GB?
  • I quite concern if the components have a good compatibility and if all the peaces would have enough room.

Thank you in advance
