Question AMD B650, Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi with a nVidia RTX 4060 GPU

Hi, there.

I am planning to buy an Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi motherboard to be used use with my RTX 4060 card and my AMD processor - RYZEN 5 5600X Processor.

Is it compatible? If not, would you recommend a compatible motherboard that is around the same price?

My specifications:
AMD - RYZEN 5 5600X Processor
Corsair CX850M Power Supply
Corsair Hydro Series H60 AIO Liquid Cooler
Kingston HyperX RAM Predator 32GB Kit (4X8GB) 3000Mhz DDR4 CL15 UDIMM
Crucial DDUCRC160 SSD Bx500-1 TB, Sata, 540 MB/S

That is an AM5 motherboard and an AM4 CPU, they are not compatible. With the AM5 motherboard, you would also need DDR5 memory.

Something like this would work:

Here is a list of most b550 mobo's: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PuUWroxA0HvSSipsXlB8hnYkshxD8LdeO5EA6WLdOQw/edit#gid=0

Will help you choose the right one.

Also, consider a new PSU. The CX line are not really gaming quality. How old is it?
