What's your Budget? - around $2500-3000.
- What are your main workloads and secondary workloads? - Mainly using it for modeling, sculpting and texturing and some animation.
Will be using Maya, Substance, Zbrush as the main packages but also getting into Blender and Unreal and getting more into GPU Rendering.

CPU: AMD 5900x
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12A
Motherboard: MSI Unify 570 or Asus Rog Strix 570-E
What would be the better motherboard if the prices are the same.
Memory: 32GB Crucial Ballistix
Storage: Samsung 970
Video Card: Nvidia 3080
Power Supply: Seasonic PX850
Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2

Do these parts all seem to work together well?
Thanks.

Thanks, but I just got an email from amazon that they cancelled my 3080 order.
If I can only get a 1650 or 1660 super in this machine will this be alright. Any bottleneck issues?

Also, either motherboards good? Is one better over the other.

The Unify is an excellent motherboard, can recommend it! Well, the 1660 Super is a decent GPU for your workloads, but if you need faster GPU render times, you'll need an upgrade sooner or later.

Having trouble finding a 5900x.

What would be a better value for my needs.
5800x ($450) vs 10850k ($350).

The 5800X should get you superior performance especially for active work tasks such as modeling so I'd go with that option even though it's a bit more expensive.
