First time build for blender

[oli]

Looking to replace my laptop with a pc for 2d/3d animation and modeling. I come from an illustration background but figured anything that can run blender can also run csp and the like. Budget's around $1500 with no plans to upgrade in the near future.

Build looks good to me. But you should also check for prices on Intel Core i7 12700K/KF in your region. Pair that with a Z690 motherboard and you should get better performance for around the same budget. The GPU is overpriced too so make sure you hunt for better options locally. Lastly, up the power supply to at least 550W and you should be good to
