I'm trying to build a PC that gives me the best performance for my budget. Currently, I'm considering the following components: an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, a B450 motherboard with 4 slots, an NVIDIA 5060 Ti GPU with 16GB, a 1TB NVMe SSD, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Thermalright 650W 80+ Bronze PSU, along with a random case and cooler. This build is at the limit of my budget, and I'm curious if it's suitable for tasks like rendering, modeling, and occasional gaming. Additionally, I would love some suggestions for alternatives that offer better performance while staying within a similar budget. I'm aiming for this rig to last me at least 2-3 years.

Make sure to get a higher-tier PSU! If you're in the US, I saw a Ryzen 5600X for around $140 on Newegg. It's a great option for your build!
Consider switching to a B550 motherboard instead of B450 to maintain PCIe 4.0 support for that CPU. It will make a difference for future upgrades.
What's your budget? Also, the 5060 Ti is kind of a stretch—are you sure about that?
I’m looking at roughly $1,000. I want to dive into game development, animations, and AI models. Why do you think the 5060 Ti is unrealistic?
Thanks for the PSU tip! I was initially eyeing the 5600X but decided to go with the non-X version after realizing their performance difference isn't too significant.
