building workstation for architect for around 1500$

[andresxl2]

Forgive my bad English. I am doing a pc for use in architecture, rendering and 3d design, and I selected these components and I would like to know if they are going well together and if there is something that could improve the performance without spending much more

Looks all good. Good part choices. Only suggestion is to go for higher RAM as Ryzen performs well with 3000 and above, specially GSkill units with their Samsung B die.

The RAM choice might be an issue. Lots of people having LPX compatibility problems with Ryzen. Get the G-Skill Ryzen specific models or something from the qualified list on the motherboard manufacturer's website.

you can easily overclock 1700 with stock cooler ( if not difference is only 5%), also faster ram is better with Ryzen build , a better gpu and 550w will be fine.
