No gaming will be involved. I was also debating between ryzen and i5 but i was right . Also isn't the gpu a little outdated as compared to 1050ti?

Please correct me if i am wrong and thanx

It is outdated, but it's needed for just displaying. The Ryzen chips have no integrated GPU. So you will need a GPU to get it going. Since you are not going to be gaming, it will be strictly a display card, and not a gaming card. All of your work will be done on your CPU. Of course you could have upgraded to the 1050 Ti, but that is out of your budget.

What about stretching out the budget for the 1050ti? If its worth it?

If you are not gaming, then. It would be a waste of money. Unless you plan on gaming, getting the 1050 Ti would just be considered a waste. Now, if you can afford it, then go for it. You can play almost any game on low to med settings. But if gaming is not part of this, I don't see why you would spend extra money on it.

Sorry for asking these silly questions but are all these softwares only cpu intensive? Because it is recommended to get a good gpu on the lumion's website.

Yes the 1050Ti will be faster but also far more expensive. That 710 costs 31 bucks and a 1050Ti is about 130 bucks.

Autocad needs a decent gpu or it will lagg a lot. So stretching the budget to get a rx 460 or so in there wouldn't be a bad idea. (gtx 1050 is better because of cuda support).

So i should go with the ryzen+nvidia combo right?

There are some features within those programs where GPU acceleration can expedite tasks so the 1050Ti may prove to be useful.

If you were going to increase the budget, adding a SSD would be my first move. A 256GB Evo would be my first pick.

That's true. I believe the Ryzen should be able to handle all the encoding on the back end. But if you can stretch it, then go for the 1050 Ti as it offers more CUDA cores. It's only $130.

Now if you can stretch to $650, the GTX 1050 should do. But if you want more power, the Ti version is $40 more.

You certainly can. Even though Seasonic is build with better quality. However the EVGA G3 is a great PSU for only $10 more, and EVGA has great customer support as well. You can go for looks and style, but at the end of the day, if it works it works. If you want to change it up, then go for it, just note that you may increase the total cost. After all, this is just a guide, and not necessarily the final say so. As the other guy said, getting an SSD is totally worth it, but it may not be included in your budget right now.

All of your answers are so helpful that i don't know which one to choose as solution
