Hi community!
I decided to get hands on buying and building my own desktop pc. Sadly, after googling and youtubing a lot, I'm finding out that it's not that easy haha.
I've seen similar posts so I'll try to go straight to the point.
I work with 3ds max (modeling and some particle simulations) and vray cpu right now. I want to move to gpu rendering asap (be it vray, octane, redshift or whatever), mostly thinking on product animation, and forget about cpu rendering.
I also use photoshop very often, some after effects to do some minor compositing and adding tracked text, and (and this is an absolute must) I want to be able to use unreal engine with real time ray traced reflections.
No gaming at all. And I would be using a 1080*1920 22" screen.
I can't share a number for the budget because prices here are very fluctuating. EDIT: TODAY, as long as the economy doesn't blow up again in my country, the following setup is something between 1500usd, using a 3060ti, and 1900usd, with a 3080
So, this is what I have in mind
My general idea with this build was to get a reasonable single-core performance and a strong gpu performance.
I'm not sure if this setup makes sense. Is the motherboard okay?
Are 750w okay for the psu in the case of the 3060ti? I've read that I should aim to 80% capacity when working. Is that correct? I also know nothing about psu models beyond that gold is better and I shouldn't go cheap on psu.
And regarding ram and storage I have absolutely no idea. I mean, I know that I want 32gb and a fast 1tb disk (I aim to use 2x2tb hdd WD Elements for storage and backup). But, once again I know nothing about brands and models.
Do you have any suggestions to improve the setup or any critical issues that should be fixed?
Feel free to roast the new setup
Thanks in advance!

So, this is what I have in mind
-Cpu Ryzen 5 5600x
-Gpu rtx 3060ti or 3080 because of increased vram (this is the only part in which I'd consider spending up to an extra 300usd)
-Mother rog strix x570 e gaming
-RAM CORSAIR 2x16GB 3200MHZ Vengeance LPX
-Ssd 1tb M.2 Nvme Falcon Adata
-Psu gigabyte g750h 750w gold

Laptop Thinkpad yoga 14 20fy002us
I5 6200u
Gpu geforce 940m 2gb vram
8gb ram
This new setup would be a HUGE jump
