[SOLVED] New PC build - gaming and graphics

[Costin55]

Hi,
I hope you guys can help me decide some things.

I want to make myself a new PC, this PC will be used mostly with Photoshop and Clip studio paint + some zbrush and some video editing + streaming doing all of those, i would also want to play some new games if i want to(like Cyberpunk at 1080 or even 2k).

Im currently searching and trying to find what the best and most future proof configuration for my budget, which is 2K $ max.( i can add a bit more if the performance is worth the extra $)

Ive made 2 builds as i dont know if i should go with AMD or INTEL, whish one do you think would be the best way for what i need and my budget?

AMD

Intel

If i find a 2060 card i may go that way, i will buy all the parts except the video card if there is no stock as i already have an old card that i can use.

On the AMD site would you go with 5800x as i did or 56oox would be a better fit for what i need(bang for my buck)?

sorry for my writing skills, English is not my native language.

Many thx in advance.

The current gen Ryzen chips are way too expensive right now. If you can wait it out then fine, else I would go with something like this...

AMD current gen. is hands down better than Intel right now, and they seem to be gradually widening the gap. 5800x will give you more longevity along with performance given your primary work load, specially editing.
