Need Suggestion for New PC building for Lighting, Rendering

[Techkon9]

Hello guys,

I am planning to buy a new System from scratch. I am stiff with Budget.

Purpose :
Mostly for Maya, Unreal, Substance painter, and renderers like Arnold, Vray, Renderman. I am a Lighting and Lookdev artist so will be doing CPU and GPU rendering.
Due to the scarcity and Inflated rates of Graphic cards. I am thinking to buy the system without a graphic card or with a cheap compatible graphic card for 6-8K for now. I will Go for 2070 or 3060ti once the rate will come down to 40-45K( original price). What you say??

These are 2 options I have to build. Looking forward to your suggestion and Improvement if any.
Build1:
CPU - Intel i9 10850K - 37k

CPU cooler - Lian Li Galahad / CM ML240L 7K-8K; whichever is available.

Mobo - MSI MAPG Z490 TOMAHAWK - 20K

RAM - 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz Mostly Ripjaw V - 8k

GPU - will buy a cheap or second gpu for now.

M.2 SSD - WD SN550 500GB - 5k*

HDD - WD/Seagate 1TB - 3k

PSU - Antec Earthwatts 80+ Gold; Suggest a Good 750W between 6-7k Gold 750 is enough i guess? )

Cabinet - Lian Li 215 / CM MB511 - 6K; whichever is available

This is Going 94K without temp gpu price. which is fine. i guess

Vs
Build 2:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3900X around 45k

CPU cooler - ARCTIC Freezer 34 Esports Duo / CM ML240L 4.4-7k; whichever is available

Mobo - Asus TUF gaming x570 - 18.4k

RAM - 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz Mostly Ripjaw V - 8k

GPU - will buy a cheap or second gpu for now.

M.2 SSD - WD SN550 500GB - 5k

HDD - WD/Seagate 1TB - 3k

PSU - Antec Earthwatts 80+ Gold; Suggest a Good 750W between 6-7k Gold 750 is enough i guess? )

Cabinet - Lian Li 215 / CM MB511 - 6K; whichever is available

This is Going 99K without temp gpu price.

Well, wouldn't a cheaper GPU affect your work?

As for the builds. I'd say go with the Intel system if you're okay with the additional power draw while losing two cores. The 10850K is either at an excellent price in your region or the 3900X is at a crappy price

no no this cheaper gpu is just for pc to work for timebeing. i will buy 2070 super / 3060Ti once prices come to normal that in 43-45K

That's a tough call for sure. It depends on whether you'd want to upgrade to a 16-core CPU anytime soon. Only AMD gives you that option.
If that really isn't much of a factor, go with the Intel system.

As for cutting costs, if you don't need to run multiple GPUs, you could go for a cheaper B550 motherboard instead of that TUF X570 on the AMD side.
