Would this be a good pc build for a mechanical engineering student with photo editing and some side hustle projects?

2 Upvotes

The list i gathered goes as follows

Component Selection
CPU Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF
Motherboard MSI MAG B860 TOMAHAWK WIFI
GPU Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti AERO OC 16 GB
RAM Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB DDR5-5600
SSD WD_BLACK SN7100 1 TB
CPU cooler be quiet! Pure Rock PRO 3
PSU Corsair RM750e 750 W
Case NZXT H6 Flow Black

Would this be a fair build and powerful enough for mechanical engineering projects using programs such as CAD and some photo editing plus some minor side hustles. If needed i am open to upgrade the ram frequency and gpu if its not gonna give the needed power for the programs i am intending to use.

Need help to select PC components

2 Upvotes

Looking to upgrade my PC and D4 is the most intensive game I currently play (Skyrim, Wow, D4 occasionally). Thinking I might get a new GPU, I have a GeForce RTX™ 3070 UPRISING Dual Fan 8G and have found the 8 GB GPU to be limiting in terms of graphics.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to help balance cost and performance. Not looking to buy a 5090 or anything bleeding edge, but would like to have it running comfortably.

What I know about PCs is rather limited and I will try to learn more about it, but any and all insight is appreciated!

PC Specs are:

MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
Intel Core i5-11400F 6-Core 2.6GHz
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 3200MHz 3200 MHz 16GB (2X8GB)
PNY GeForce RTX™ 3070 UPRISING Dual Fan 8G
XPG Core Reactor 750W Gold
1 TB SSD

I need to be able to play most games out on the market at decent performance. I would like to have a Nvidia GPU. I do not need any peripherals. I live in Germany. I do not need a WiFi motherboard.
