Work station for near future proof

[Theob]

Hello, i found this 1500$ "The best 3d modelling and rendering" article

• CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor
• CPU Cooler : AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler
• Motherboard : MSI X570 Tomahawk ATX AM4
• Graphics Card : Nvidia RTX 3070 8GB - Asus Dual
• Memory (RAM) : 16GB (2 x 8GB) G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 C16
• PCIe-SSD : Crucial P1 1TB, M.2 Solid State Drive
• Power Supply : Corsair CX Series CX550M 550W ATX 2.4 Power Supply
• Case : Corsair Carbide Series Air 540

Let s say i would like to make a little adjustment for the future proof by replacing

• CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
• Graphics card : GALAX GTX1660 Super
• Motherboard : MSI X570-A Pro
• RAM : 32GB G.Skill Trident

will this be okay ? Due to the overprice of GPU at the moment i do not think it is a good time to invest on the good one. Thank you

Tbh, I'm a firm proponent of buying what you need now, and not plan too much into the future. Technology changes fast.
What sort of workloads/applications are you hoping to handle with this build?

Hi Jerry, thank you for getting back to me. I wanna build a PC for 3D modelling and rendering (something like Blender)

I'd recommend just getting the best GPU you can find now within a fixed budget. Try grabbing an RTX 3060 at least.

Thank you ! So do i need to bring the CPU up to 9 or will keep it at 5 as the article suggested? And also the Motherboar, is X570 pro okay because Tomahawk is out of stock .

Oh that's not too great a pick sadly. The X570 Pro from MSI isn't that good. What else is available at that price?

Completely depends on your budget. The higher you go, the faster it is If your budget can accommodate a Ryzen 9, I'd definitely go for it.
