I am planning my first build for a computer that will be used primarily for 3D modelling (Blender, Bricklink Studio, OnShape) as well as gaming. Can anyone offer some advice on how well these parts work together? I already generated the list for my budget with the PC Builder tool. My budget is between 1500 and 2000 USD. I will be buying parts in the US. below is the part list from the PC-Builder Tool.

Thank you!

The build is fully compatible and will work well for your workloads. There's not much you can upgrade there to make performance all that much faster. Great CPU, super allrounder GPU, a decent amount of RAM, fast NVMe SSD.

I'd consider a slightly stronger PSU, though, to be on the safe side, especially with potential future upgrades. Something like 750W will be practical long-term.
