Considering your needs, weighing the pros and cons of each option makes sense. The Ryzen 3 3300X offers strong performance for gaming and rendering, while the Intel I5-10400 provides solid baseline power. Pairing either with an 1660 adds flexibility, but you’ll want to balance speed and efficiency. Think about your specific workloads and how much you value raw power versus consistent performance.

No, I didn't check benchmarks for your applications.

It seems like you're planning a budget build. I recommend starting with an APU such as the 5700G, using IGPU for now, and adding a GPU later if needed. Country? Parts list (if available)?

Their outcomes were very similar. That’s why it’s tough for me to choose.

790$ or 40,000 PHP from the Philippines. Choosing the APU path might make it tough for me to handle rendering due to my civil engineering work.

You're in Southeast Asia and Shopee is likely available as an eShop app offering better prices than sites like Amazon. You might find several local eShop apps, especially in places like Indonesia, where you can discover great deals on regional products. Local markets often have a lot of Chinese goods, so checking those apps can help you save money—especially for items like CPU coolers or cases. If you prefer older hardware, local platforms may be cheaper than new ones. You could get a good GPU for around 150$ or look for budget CPUs and RAM if needed.

Looking for a Ryzen 5 3500X at $150? You can find it on BNB or other platforms. How to get it? Check online marketplaces, local stores, or consider refurbished options.

Still comparable to the 10,400 price point.
