Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by my first pc build.  Any help or advice would be appreciated during these inflated prices.

So I recently got my first big internship as a computer engineer and at the same time my old pc of 7 years has started to die out.  It has dealt with a ton and I’m honestly proud of how far it's come since it was a lower end pre built.  But that means it's time to actually use some of my hardware part of my major and take the PC building plunge.

OLD PC SPECS: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2xxx (i5-10400F, GTX 1650 4GB, 32GB DDR4 2933MT/s, 1.8TB NVMe SSD)

It surprisingly worked pretty well through all the major multitasking, 3D modeling, FPS games, and coding projects I have done through the years but is definitely feeling the wear of time.  It's still fine enough and only cost me about $800, so I can make it to roughly August till I want to upgrade and my budget is set around $3000 excluding monitors and such.

I know no matter what I do that this is gonna be a massive improvement vs the self-upgraded 3rd party stuff I was trying before, but what's your take on it?  I’m aiming for an AMD CPU and an NVIDIA GPU pairing with DDR5 and 2 SSDs for swapping between Windows and Linux.  Sadly in this economy it's not great price wise and I’m struggling to find stuff that is affordable.  This up above is my best attempt yet to make something balanced but with enough power to game, code, and have several software related desktops running.

Probably could go as high as $3500 but looking for opinions and gonna wait to buy till August.
