Hello, I’m currently trying to build the best PC I can within my budget for the things I want to run. (Unreal Engine game dev, Blender, high-graphic Steam games, heavily modded Minecraft) My budget is $1800. I’m very new to knowing much of anything about the best components, but my brother crafted a PCPartPicker list for me as he is very into computers and whatnot. Let me know if this list will run the things I want effiecently enough, or if there is anything I should swap out with something else

Unreal Engine wants lots of CPU cores for compiling shaders, and lots of graphics RAM for editor levels.
The 12 GB 3060 is a reasonable budget choice for the editor, as it’s a fair bit of dedicated VRAM for a standalone card.
The AM4 and 5xxx series Ryzen are unfortunate choices as they are significantly behind the technology curve at this point. Then again, $1800 doesn’t buy what it used to …
Honestly, on a budget, a Ryzen AI 395+ with 128 GB RAM might be the best option. That particular variant has lots of cores, and can share as much RAM as you need for the VRAM.
You probably don’t need more than 1 TB of M2 NVME, although 2 TB will give you more elbow room. (Pretty easy to upgrade after the fact, though, and it’s not your most expensive component anyway.)
How about this list? Someone on reddit made it for me when I gave them my originial list. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/6q6tfd
The Intel 12-series is troublesome. (Actually, these days, all Intel are trouble – I remember when they were rock solid …) Of course, it’s less trouble than the 13/14 series, which has frequent game crashing problems, and where the CPU might even just burn out even with normal usage…
The 5060 is slightly nicer than the 3060 you had before, so if all else is equal, that’s an improvement.
The main drawback with the AI 395+ is that it isn’t easy to expand, but I find that I buy a full new computer every 3-4 years instead anyway, so I’m less worried about expansion.
To be honest – all three options can work okay, it’s not like you’re going to be unable to do work with either of them.
Also: are you going to run Linux? Are you bringing your own Windows license? If you want to run Windows and don’t have one already, you’ll need to buy that, too.
