Hello, I've posted here before and here I am again for the same reason.
Shortages and prices are chaotic atm, so my PC build has been halted, and in the meantime I made some slight changes before buying the parts.
Originally my budget was 2000 Euros, but let's say that the number might, or more likely, "will/is" fluctuating.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The planned build right now is:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
MB: MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI (Bought)
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
Storage: Samsung v-nand ssd 860 evo 500gb (Bought)
Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD 1.0TB M.2 NVMe
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 SSC GAMING ACX 2.0 (Later possibly and most likely replaced with a 3080)
PSU: Corsair RM Series RM650 650W Full Modular 80 Plus Gold
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The changes I made are the CPU and RAM.
CPU:
Since I'm planning on using my imaginary 3080 for rendering in the future, I thought that maybe I don't need to pair it with an expensive CPU like the Ryzen 9 5900X.
I only need the CPU to have a smooth Viewport and I noticed in the following benchmarks, that the Ryzen 5 5600X is on par with the Ryzen 9 5900X.
But then I started reading the following article that got me worried -> https://www.cgdirector.com/best-hardware-for-gpu-rendering-in-octane-redshift-vray/
At first, my little brain got confused at the PCIe-Lanes and how "Different CPUs support a different number of PCIe-Lanes.".
And then I received a slap when I read that, "Some processes, though, that happen before and during rendering rely heavily on the performance of the CPU, Storage, and (possibly) your network."
So if it's not too much, can someone reassure me that the R5 5600X is good enough for Modeling/Rendering tasks (I really don't want to wait until prices go down on CPU's)
RAM:
The RAM that I originally could have purchased would have been the following -> Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4-3200MHz (CMK32GX4M4B3200C16).
After some research though, I noticed that the sticks "G.Skill TridentZ Neo 32GB DDR4-3600MHz (F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC)" are more compatible/better for the Ryzen processors.
So then again, I'm simply seeking for validation
GPU:
The plan so far, is to gather all compatible parts and build a PC that can handle any modeling task.
It will temporarily host my old GPU (EVGA GeForce GTX 950 SSC GAMING ACX 2.0), and when the prices go back to being "reasonable" I'm planning on swooping an RTX 3080. So until then I'll be stuck with modeling (which I don't mind).
Yet again, here I am seeking validation from the Masters.

Thank you for reading, and also thank you for all the interesting articles regarding 3D Art.
I don't know how else I can show my appreciation, other than posting alow effort, copy pasted dancing figure :>
