Recommendations for $2000 USD Budget

[igendreau]

I have about $2,000 USD for the PC (not including a monitor). I use it 99% of the time for rendering V-Ray for Sketchup.
Looking for Video Card/CPU combo recommendations that will work great and roughly leave the budget for the other pieces.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!

There you go,

Maybe update the GPU to 4060ti 16 GB, it will be better

So I got a bit of a bump. Work gave me $2500 for this rig. Here is a parts list. Any recommendations on what I should change, or what I should use the extra money to bump up would be appreciated:

Not my favorite case, it will not be fun to build in. Same for the CPU cooler, the ones I linked are much better
You also need a better board for such a high-end CPU, go for X870-E boards

Does that make a difference in how the CPU performs? It was my understanding that these different chipsets just enable newer features like PCIe lanes/speeds, USB-4, etc. A newer chipset would be more future proof but not necessarily perform any better for raw cpu numbers, right? This is a genuine question, I've often seen it quoted that the cpu runs the same in all of the motherboards (OC capabilities notwithstanding) so I'm curious. Do you have any more info on this?
