The shop that will build my PC gave me today a proposal:
-AMD RYZEN 7 5800X / 3.8 GHZ
- GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE
- CORSAIR COOLING ICUE H100I PRO RGB XT 240MM
- SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 1TB (NVME)
- GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8G
- MICROSOFT WINDOWS 10 PRO 64-BIT (NEDERLANDS)
- They will take the following parts from my older system:
-Fractal D. Define R5 Black
- RAM 32.0GB D432GB 3200-16-18-18 Ripjaws
- Corsair RM1000 1000W
-1863GB Western Digital WDC (SATA)
Total: 2043 euro incl.btw
Please let me know if you have any remarks or suggestions and if this specs are safe & stable to run C4D with the Octane plugin. Specially the RAM memory. Don't know if this 32 GB RAM is stable enough. My max. budget is 2500, so there's still space to change parts if necessary.

Given the current price-inflations of GPUs and CPUs, that looks like a reasonable price-tag. The Build will be able to run Octane and C4D without any issues. 32GB should be enough for most projects, if you know you'll be working on very complex projects, though or have multiple RAM-hogging Applications open at the same time (e.g. After Effects...) 64GB of RAM would make more sense.

Thanks for the reply Alex. Most of the time I run only C4D and Octane without any other applications. I create small animations, but with most of the time with very high detailed textures + some stills with a lot of different textures. I was thinking to upgrade to 64gb. There's still some budget free for this.
