I'm trying to build a PC that can run Unreal Engine 5 and 3D modeling software effectively. I've picked out some parts and would love to know if they will work well together, or if I need to make any changes. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated! I'm pretty new to this, so I want to make sure I'm on the right track.

Your build looks solid overall, especially your CPU and GPU choices. But I noticed that you're overspending on the CPU cooler; you might want to look at alternatives like the Arctic Liquid Freezer or a Thermalright cooler that can save you some cash while still providing great performance. Also, consider switching to a B850 motherboard for better value. And just a heads-up, your power supply might be overkill with your current setup; a 750W unit would be plenty unless you plan on adding a high-end GPU later on. Lastly, regarding the Windows license, you can find legitimate licenses for much cheaper than what you're looking at—might be worth checking out!
Good call on the cooler and the license! It sounds like you're really thinking about building a solid setup.
Just to chime in, the Unreal Engine 5 itself is definitely demanding, but it really depends on how well the games built with it are optimized. From what I see, your component choices seem to hold up, but keep an eye on prices; that RAM is a bit on the expensive side. All in all, you're on the right track!
Yep, you’ve got a good set of parts, just refine where you can without compromising performance.
I think your picks are decent! Just remember that you might not always need the latest and greatest parts to run everything smoothly. Don't rush into any final decisions until you're confident!
Totally agree about the cooler, there's a lot of options that can save you quite a bit. Use those savings to maybe upgrade your CPU or GPU—it could make a real difference! Also, your RAM seems pricey; some adjustments there could really help your overall budget.
