Budget: Between €2000,- and €3000,-
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR games on the new big screen beyond, Creating games in unity including baking lightmaps, Blender, Some newer titles like Spider-Man 2 and Doom: The Dark Ages, AC Shadows.
Current build: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/user/LiableDuke/saved/9KL3Hx With a 1440p 144hz monitor and a 1080p 60hz that I am not currently planning to upgrade.

Over the past week or 2 I've been looking into getting a new pc that is aimed towards more productivity and to get some better performance in games and this is the build that came out of that: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/user/LiableDuke/saved/hCVkjX

I am here just to get some more eyes on it to see if there is anything that needs improving (not the case, that is staying cause it's pretty lol)

How much do you use blender? As there’s very few use cases for it, but the Intel 285k is best for blender. You’ll also want an Nvidia GPU for your productivity tasks including blender and Unity as they perform much better.

Blender will be used pretty light. Just some basic 3d models to use in unity. I doubt I'll ever actually render anything in blender

Is consider 7800x3d if gaming is main, 9800x3d will give you a little boost for productivity but for gaming won’t push any further unless you spent on a 5090 tbh

#

Productivity being low priority 9950x3d is overkill and you have to use turbo mode so waste most your power
