If I only have a budget of 2000 and have needs of 3D animation editing, what CPU, GPU, and other computer parts should I buy?

Depends on what 3D animation you do, but general advice is to stock up on RAM.

What software exactly? Some can use a lot of threads, others are more RAM bound...

Generally a GTX 1060/rx 580 is more than capable of handling the graphics side of the work. Get a cheap secondhand or first hand 1060 GPU can liao.

3d animation editing focuses more on CPU /+ ram, generally 32gb if you have cash is optimal, if not 16gb is sufficient.

Intel CPU for this use-case is complete trash for its pricing - go for Ryzen. 2700x or 2600x is good. The more cores-threads, the better. Esp given how much cheaper and efficient Ryzen is in $/core-thread.

Intel is the Apple of the professional developers' world: Expensive but multi-core performance falls behind AMD, yet costs so much more than AMD.

If you plan to use Adobe Software suite, go with Intel system.

So.. What software will you be using?
