I'm putting together my first PC mainly for 3D modeling, animation, visual art, and occasionally gaming. Here's what I've picked out so far:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (3.5GHz Up to 5.0GHz, 22MB Cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 65W, Socket AM5)
- **Motherboard**: ASROCK B760M Pro RS/D4 WiFi (I need to change this)
- **RAM**: Kingston Fury Beast RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5600MHz
- **SSD**: CORSAIR MP600 CORE XT 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4
- **GPU**: MSI RTX 5060 Ti 16G VENTUS 2X OC PLUS
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A750BN PCIE5 III 750W (80 Plus Bronze)
- **Case**: Asus PROART PA401 WOOD TG PWM BLACK (Mid tower)
- **Cooler**: DEEPCOOL AG620 ARGB Dual Tower - Black
My budget is around $2000. I've only watched a few videos and read a bit about PC building, so I'm still figuring things out!

It looks like there’s a major compatibility issue with your motherboard and the AMD CPU. You have an Intel motherboard listed, so you'll need to swap that out for a compatible AM5 board. For the CPU, instead of the 8500G, consider going for the Ryzen 7600 since you’re getting a separate GPU anyway. It might handle your tasks just as well and would save you some cash without losing much performance.
Yeah, the 7600 is a solid choice, especially if you’re focused on 3D work.
Where are you planning to buy your parts? Prices can vary a lot based on your location. I see you're from Vietnam, so try local shops to get a better deal or check out online retailers that ship there.
Good point! Sometimes local deals are much better than online prices, especially for shipping.
Exactly! Plus, supporting local businesses is always a win.
Definitely check the compatibility of all parts before buying! Getting a good motherboard is key for a smooth build.
