  1. Ryzen looks promising, especially if you need multi threading. For gaming it appears to be not as good as an intel chip, but only by a small margin. It wins with productivity. 
     
     
    That being said, if you need a build now. Here is a fairly meaty PC.

    If you have money to burn you could upgrade the GPU, but that is probably not that necessary especially at  a 1920x1200 resolution. 
     
    You can also probably change out the 3.5 inch drives to something else, whatever size/ config is your preference.

     

    Also. US prices on PC parts are amazing. Very jealous

  2. Might I suggest starting with a smaller project first? That way you can develop the requisite skills in order to bring larger projects to life.

     

    Most larger modding projects end up never getting finished (or are finished in a sub optimal state). By taking the time to work on a few smaller projects (adding items, NPCs, ect...) you will have a better understanding of what is needed to successfully pursue your larger scope projects.

     

    Obviously, I do not want to dissuade you from trying, but I have seen a great deal of modding projects remain incomplete due to the lack of cohesive fundamentals.
