The rig should be beefy enough to handle high end character art workflow needs (3D modeling, sculpting, texturing, and real-time engine work like Unreal Engine, Maya, and ZBrush) + Appreciate any input!!! Users are advised to stylize their threads with info asked of in this thread; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel... forums. it helps add context to your inquiry and the community will chime in with worthwhile suggestions. If you're going to stick to an AM5 platform, you should look into ram that has ADM's E.X.P.O. advertised on it's packaging or site. If you want to stick to G.Skill ram kits, look for the Neo lineup of rams, e.g: G.Skill Trident Z Neo. I would look at a higher wattage unit for headroom but you've picked a good quality unit. I'd pick up a Fractal Define 7 case instead of the TD500. I'd give you a more concrete suggestion instead of generically if your thread was stylized akin to the link above.

That e-shop.gr doesn’t appear to be suitable (parts selection incomplete… missing motherboard, no THERMALRIGHT coolers, so I stopped searching).
Looks like the cart link couldn’t be saved, only an image provided.

The reading indicates that MAYA and Zbrush are mainly single-threaded. Therefore, a build using the Ultra 265K would likely offer superior single-thread performance compared to the AI-generated 7900X at a similar price point.
