Hello everyone, hope you're having a nice day.
I'm having trouble with building a PC so i thought someone here might help me. I'm looking to build a PC for both gaming and 3d modeling/sculpting (blender,zbrush etc.). The budget is somewhere between 800€ and 1000€. I would be very grateful if someone could list some components or atleast tell me what i should be looking for when building it.
Thank you in advance.

Few words.

While in gaming, the Intel CPUs excel due to the great single-core and quad-core performance, then in 3D modelling/sculpting, the AMD CPU is best for it's great multi-core performance. So, went with Ryzen 5 1500X CPU which has 4 cores and 8 threads. While 16GB of RAM might be a bit less for your work, the MoBo comes with 4 RAM slots for easier RAM upgrade in the future. I also added good and fast SSD for OS and applications and common 1TB HDD for data storage. Put in GTX 1060 6GB GPU which enables you to game with high/ultra settings @ 1080p with 60+ FPS and can be useful in your work also. Selected the best budget PC case for your build that has small footprint, 1x 5.25" external bay for ODD/fan controller and side window for eyecandy (same case comes also in white color). And lastly, put in good quality, fully modular PSU from Seasonic. PSU is 80+ Bronze certified and comes with 5 years of warranty. (My Haswell build is also powered by Seasonic M12II EVO series PSU but mine is 850W. Full specs with pics in my sig.)

Its pretty good recommendation, I would squeeze a bit more on the CPU and get a nice overclocking mobo with a decent cooler like this, get this extra free performance overclocking if your comfortable.
