Need advice upgrading CPU, MoBo, Memory and Storage

[Ojasvi Srivastava]

Hey everyone.

My budget is 70K.

My usage is 3D modelling and computational design (Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper), rendering on Keyshot, competitive FPS shooters (Valorant, CS:GO) and AAA offline titles at 1080p, high quality.

CPU: max I can spend is 30K. Right now torn between Ryzen 5 5600x and 3600x.

MoBo: I don't need fancy features but a flash BIOS function is a must. I do want a really good VRM design since I'd most likely be milking the CPU for years to come, with overclocking. Do I need a B550 or better chipset or will a B450 be sufficient? I understand that B550 has PCIe 4.0 lanes but are they really worth it? I'd be sticking to a single NVMe SSD and a SATA III HDD. As of now I don't see myself getting any expansion cards. Maybe a Wi-Fi 6 card when they are mainstream.

Memory: From what I've researched, (double rank 16GB @ 3600 MHz) x 2 = 32 GB will solve all my purposes. Please advise.

Storage: I have a 4TB WD Green HDD for storage that I'll keep. I need an NVMe drive to boot from.

I have a GTX 1070Ti and an Antec Earthwatts Pro 650W Gold PSU. I hope those will suffice. No peripherals required.

CPU - AMD R5 5600X/R7 3700X - 28.5k (Fastest gaming CPU or best productivity CPU for the price, decide on your priority)

Mobo - MSI B550 Gaming Plus - 14k (Good VRM temps for the price, decent features)

RAM - 2x16GB DDR4 3600MHz - 14k (CL18 will do, look for which one is cheap at the time of purchase, most 16GB sticks are dual rank, still confirm it)

GPU - Your 1070Ti

M.2 SSD - WD SN550/Kingston A2000 1TB - 10k (8k on sales)

HDD - Yours

PSU - Yours

Cabinet - Lian Li 215 or other mid tower ATX - 6k*

Monitor - Yours

Total - 72.5k

*I assume you have one, but if you are looking to upgrade to something with good airflow. Lian Li 215 is not recommended if you plan to use AIO up front as the 200mm fans go to waste.
