Hey , I need your help and advice
I have a system with the following specifications, which is currently not suitable for animating and 3D rendering. I want to pay and update the parts

•Core i7 7800x 4GHz
•X299 Aorus gigabyte gaming 3
•PH-GTx-asus Nvidia 1050ti-4G
•Ssd 512 m.2 adata sx8200
•Green GP850B-OCPT Power
•32Gb ram 3200Mhz 2×16


Do you think I should change this system completely or should I just add a strong graphic?

I think if i buy a gpu 4070ti or 4080
I dont need change the cpu and motherboard

Because render with gpu better than cpu and fast,and i7 7800x is not very bad at single core benchmark



.
But if the CPU and motherboard need to be changed, I can buy a Ryzen or Intel system
13900k or 13700k with
Gigabyte z690 ud ax
Or
7950x or 7900x with
B650 tuf gaming
And a gpu 3080
with 64Gb ddr5 5600Mhz

I work with adobe suite, specially after effect and i want start 3d animate and render

Depends on what you're getting limited by. If you're facing slowdowns within viewport or working with certain apps in general, a CPU upgrade makes more sense. If you need faster renders, a GPU upgrade will do the trick.

I need both, but I think that since the single core score of my CPU is good, I just need to update the graphics... Do you think the rendering is better with a 7950x CPU or with a 3090 RTX graphics?

If you're using a GPU render engine, a 3090 will give you faster renders.
