VS 650 is pretty budget-oriented. I would upgrade this.

Before I offer any further advice, It would be very helpful to know what software you will use for your "Animation(Lighting and Rendering) and GPU rendering".

Thanks NightHawkRMX for reply. Yes i have thought on that too so any suggestion on which PSU.

Also i have updated the post with Software usage: I will be using Software like Maya (Most), Unreal engine, Substance Painter, Adobe Photoshop & Aftereffects, Foundry Nuke & Katana and Renderers like Arnold, Vray, Renderman, Redshift etc.

I know Adobe and Vray stress a lot of threads. The 9700k will suffice, but the 9900k would perform better.

Here is a better and more efficient PSU.

The Intel 660p is a better drive. If you have the budget thats my choice.

I'm not a monitor person, but I like the LG 24MP59G. It uses IPS technology so colors should be on point. It is also 75hz which is nice for gaming.

* Ya i agree, I tried few builds with 9900K but are over budget for me. that why i am going with 9700k

* Thanks will try to adjust this PSU in my build

* Yes Intel is good, me too heard it, by the way instead of M.2 can be to go with SSD Like
