Build Advice Building new PC (mostly) for chess analysis

[Ramiro_1900]

I'm a professional player and chess coach. I need a powerful machine to analyze chess. This includes running chess engines (such as Power Fritz and Stockfish) as well as the very taxing program Chessbase 17. Some engines (the NNUE ones) benefit a lot with the GPU (Cuda cores).
Can you please tell me which are the most suitable components/build that I should buy?
I'd like to stay under €2000.
Thank you.

I was thinking between the Intel i7 13700K and AMD Ryzen 7 7700x...

 

[Why_Me]

I was thinking between the Intel i7 13700K and AMD Ryzen 7 7700x...

That would put the cost over €2000.

 

[Ramiro_1900]

That would put the cost over €2000.

For €2500 can I already get a reasonable configuration/build for the i7 13700? It's my favorite processor.

Try this. btw I just noticed that case doesn't come with a rear exhaust fan. Add this fan down below to that build.

I would look at this Noctua in the link for that cpu along with a board with beefier VRM's such as a Z790 board.
