I'm getting back into creating 3D art and working with Adobe After Effects, but my current PC is quite outdated—it's basically a potato! Here are my specs: Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600, GPU: GT 710 2GB DDR3, and I have 32GB of RAM. I have around $1200 to spend and I'm trying to decide whether I should prioritize a new GPU for more VRAM or upgrade my CPU first. Any advice from those who know better?

Honestly, you're going to need more than $1200 to really make a solid upgrade right now, especially with current GPU prices being high. You might want to save a bit more if you can. But if you must decide, I'd suggest focusing on a GPU upgrade for better performance in 3D applications. You could get something like an RTX 3060, which should give you a good boost in VRAM and modern architecture.
Got it! I'll keep that in mind. Any specific models you recommend?
