Build for 90% modeling 10% rendering, blender, zbrush, fusion360

The research I have read leads me to believe that the type of work I am looking at doing which is primarily modeling in blender, hard surface modeling in F360 and sculpting in zbrush. Mainly for 3d printing/prototyping ect, I should focus on a very good processor with good RAM to keep my viewport from lagging. What I do not know is what I can get away with in terms of a video card. As I mentioned I will not be rendering much and I do not care if it takes a long time to render if I can save some money. Down the road if I get into animation/spfx as an actual job I can upgrade to a top notch GPU. Here is what I came up with since I already have a full size tower, optical drive, monitor, and a 1TB HDD.

-AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core, 24-thread unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

-GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Elite Wifi (AMD Ryzen 3000/X570/ATX/PCIe4.0/DDR4/Intel Dual Band 802.11AC WIFI/Front USB Type-C/RGB Fusion 2.0/M.2 Thermal Guard/Gaming Motherboard)

-2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz (64gb total)

-Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive.

-Corsair SF Series, SF600, 600 Watt, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold Certified

-Asus GeForce GTX 1650 Overclocked 4GB Dual-Fan Edition VR Ready HDMI DP 1.4 DVI Graphics Card (Dual-GTX1650-O4G)* I don't feel like this is the right card for me so please make suggestions.

- finally a new copy of windows 10 pro.

please let me know what you think, I am totally open to suggestions as I have just started to price these out for my budget of around $1000-1200

Hey Computron1234,
You are correct, for your workloads a high clocking cpu will be best and the 3900x fits nicely. A gtx 1650 will be fine for starting out, but 4GB are quite a small amount of VRAM, so do upgrade to a GPU with 8GB of vram at some point, as this can speed up viewport performance too, even if you are not rendering on it at all.

The overall build looks good to me! :)
