I'm planning a brand new PC build primarily for 3D rendering as well as some light gaming (mostly Valorant and Sims). My current setup with a GeForce 2060 and an AMD R5 3600X just isn't cutting it anymore, and I'm ready to invest a bit more for a better machine since I'll also be using it for work. I'm looking for any recommendations that offer great value for my budget, which is between $2000 and $2800, including taxes. I found a bundle that includes an AMD R9 9950X CPU, a Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi7 motherboard, and 64GB of Corsair RAM. Is this bundle a good choice? Additionally, I'm trying to decide on a graphics card, considering either the 5060 Ti or one of the AMD 9000 series. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Based on my quick research, Enscape is more reliant on the GPU than CPU, so having a strong graphics card is crucial. For V-Ray, GPU rendering typically speeds things up, but a CPU like the 9700X could also work if you prefer that route. I'd suggest focusing on investing in a better GPU while maybe scaling back the CPU a bit. It might give you better overall performance without breaking the bank.
Good point! It makes sense to prioritize the GPU for rendering tasks. Let’s not forget how much smoother gaming can be with a solid graphics card too.
Apologies for that! Here's the public link to my build: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yjvvyW](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yjvvyW). Let me know what you think!
