Advice for C4D PC

Hi! I'd love some advice. I'm looking to invest in a PC, primarily for Cinema 4D + Redshift/Octane. I've been using C4D on my macbook for the past year, which has proven to be less than ideal. I'm looking for something thats obviously a level up, but since I'm still pretty new to 3D, I'm not looking to invest an insane amount of money (around 2k would be ideal). Should be something that will last me a couple of years, but upgradeable in the future.
Since I also have no intention of building it myself, I'd like to go with a builder, and so I'm limited to the options they provide (based in Germany), and I came up with this:

CASING
Cooler Master MasterBox MB600L

PROCESSOR
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 12x 3.80 GHz

COOLER
be quiet! Pure Rock 2

MAINBOARD
MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, S. AM4 v2

GRAPHIC CARD
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 | MSI Gaming X Trio 8G

STORAGE
32GB DDR4-3000 | Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO

SSD
1TB | Samsung 860 EVO

HARD DISK
1 TB | Toshiba SATA III

POWER ADAPTER
750 watt 80 PLUS GOLD | Enermax Revolution DF


FAN
be quiet! Silent Wings 3, 120mm

Is everything here compatible? Anything I should consider? Recommendations are welcome. Thank you!

If you can get your hands on a 5900X, that would be another step up in terms of performance over the 3900X. Also, make sure to get a strong enough CPU Cooler such as the beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4. The Pure Rock is a bit too low-end for great cooling on those 12-Core CPUs.

The rest of the parts look great, I see no issues!

Awesome thank you for the tips! If there isn't an option to get a Ryzen 9 5xxx, would it make sense to go down one bracket to the 7 for a 5800x?
And for the cooler would a be quiet! Dark Rock Slim suffice?

The Slim performs similar to the pure rock. Get a Dark Rock 4 or Pro 4 or a comparable Noctua Cooler to be on the safe side. Yes it would make sense to get a lower tier ryzen if you don't depend on a high number of cores for your workloads.

Got it. The fan selection here is pretty limited, but I'll try to make sure I get a good one. Thanks again!
