Here is my latest and greatest build. I have build my first PC back in 2011 and it was not until 2017 after my deployment in Iraq to show my PC some TLC that it needed. (Original build linked last)
It is vitally important that you wait for good sales for these parts. I use PCPartPicker to view historical data on prices and availablity. If I had purchased all parts when I wanted them I would’ve been out an extra $300-550 USD.

My next one will probably be an AMD too. Intel is way behind at the moment.
Edit as I see many complain about Ryzen gaming performance: This is for photography purposes. Adobe Lightroom does support the many cores since, I think, 2017.
@CoDuck, to be honest, Ryzen systems have gotten a lot in recent times. Most motherboard manufacturers have updated their BIOS firmware enough to eliminate any bugs that still remained since the launch of the AM4 platform, thus making Ryzen a clear choice for performance/dollar spent.
