I'm an architectural assistant working with multiple software programs like AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Lumion, V-Ray, and Photoshop. Besides that, I also enjoy competitive gaming, so I'm looking to build or buy a new PC that excels in both gaming (with high FPS) and heavy multitasking for 3D rendering and productivity. I'm unsure which CPU and GPU to prioritize for the best performance balance. Any advice on build suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

For heavy workloads and gaming, the 9950X3D is unbeatable for CPUs. As for GPUs, stick with Nvidia as they're significantly better for productivity tasks. The RTX 5090 is the best you can get right now. Just be sure to invest in a good power supply unit and cooling system to handle the heat these components generate!
If you want a top-notch performance blend of productivity and gaming, I highly recommend the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D paired with the Nvidia RTX 5090. This combo is hard to beat for what you're looking for!
Just put together a similar build and spent around $5500-6000. Here’s what I got: Ryzen 9 9950X3D, Tryx Panorama AIO cooler, a high-grade motherboard, 64GB RAM, two 4TB SSDs, the Zotac Solid 5090 GPU, and a premium PSU. It'll be a beast for both gaming and productivity tasks!
Honestly, for what you need, the 9950X3D and RTX 5090 are the way to go. They're a solid combo that will handle both high-end gaming and 3D modeling without breaking a sweat.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm definitely leaning toward those options.
