Can you share with the forum your goals for the build, at least what you plan to use it for? What components are you looking for now?
If you are going for a build with powerful graphics for 3D design and animation, I think your budget is low.

If you're main objective is work use I suggest a a Ryzen build. Socket will be supported through 2020, so that's as upgrade-able as it gets.
Processor: R7 2700 or 2700X
MB: https://www.asus.com/microsite/motherboard/AMD-X470/ (I'd go with the 450 to save money but if you're flexible and want to work you might want the extra options the 470 has)
Ram: G.Skill Flare X DDR4 3200MHz CL14 = 32GB (I prefer the Trident Z line due to aesthetics, but the Flare X has less issues with Ryzen setups)
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO M.2
As for VGA's I'd go with the Vega 64 (or 56 if money is an issue) as they have better overall compute compared to their Nvidia counterparts. The two recommended choices:

or

I have the Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 56 and it's a great card. Poor marketing on AMD's part ensured the Vega architecture never had a chance against Pascal but reviewers found the benefit for these products.

Thanks for replying !
I totally agree with you about ryzen, they've proved efficency and great performance over intel. However, about the graphic card I always was a fan of Nvidia I'm not sure though because im not the expert. I've checked online and compared between 1070Ti and Vega 65 they seem to be close in specs but Vega is a bit better but the price is way higher when it comes to AMD.
I can't use Nvidia for this setup right?
I was worried because I use CUDA cores and gpu rendering sometimes when I render in Maya - Vray.
Will it perform in an efficient way just like Nvidia does or is it gonna fail?

Where do you live? In Canada Vega 56 prices are close to 1070 Ti prices.
AMD has ProRender (plug-in) for Autodesk Maya: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/radeon-prorender-autodeskmaya
Maya certified hardware: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/troubleshooting/caas/simplecontent/content/maya-certifie...
V-Ray RT supports Open CL so you can use an AMD card but I'm not sure how Vega performs on that framework.

You can use any Nvidia GPU on a Ryzen or Threadripper build
