Looking for the highest number of cores for your software projects. It seems AMD is a good choice for that. You'll want to compare prices for the CPUs you're considering. Regarding DDR4-3600 and 3200, they refer to memory speeds—DDR means Double Data Rate, and these numbers indicate how fast the data transfers in megahertz.
The game runs smoothly on a PC, especially compared to GTA5's performance.
These are just ideas, but I’d go with a $2000 budget (adjust a few hundred if needed). Remember, GPU costs can be hard to predict right now. I chose the one I bought for around $850 about a month ago—it’s pretty close to what I’m aiming for. Compared to my 5900X, it uses the same board with good VMR cooling, which is important for the 5000-series. I’m doubling the RAM, keeping the same M.2 slot, GPU, and CPU cooler (I didn’t include paste but suggest Corsair XT50, what I used before). Having the board already saves you roughly $150 on other parts, and I’m fine with 32GB in my setup—just thinking about 64GB since you’ll be using it for work. The 4000X case I picked has three 120mm RGB fans plus a light node; I swapped them for Corsair’s iCUE Commander XT based on a suggestion from another member. The controller cost about $50 on Amazon, which I didn’t include since it can’t be chosen on PCPartPicker. The fans you’ll need are—if you don’t like RGB, any non-RGB 120mm works, but for this case I recommend two more up top and one at the back. Check it out and let me know what you think—I believe it will meet your needs well. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/An0maly197...iew=JmygnQ Edited March 20, 2022 by An0maly_76 Revised, more info
