I have pc with this spec :
CPU :Ryzen 3 2200g
GPU : RX 580 8gb
Mobo : MSI a320m pro-vd/s v2
Ram : 2x4gb 2666mhz
Psu : deepcool 500w 80+
Ssd : samsung evo 860 250gb

I will upgrade my CPU to ryzen 5 2600, but some peoples say better i upgrade to ryzen 5 3600, my bios version is : AMD AGESA combo-AM4 1.0.0.3, i don't really know about stuff like bios update, did ryzen 5 3600 will work? Or do i need update the bios first?

I'm seeing the 2600 should be a drop in as it uses the same BIOS as the 2200g.
The 3600 requires a newer BIOS.
I'm not sure which BIOS you have.
They are all listed here...but they don't coincide with what you posted....as they list "file names".

I just got some more information about my bios version , this is the bios update from MSI

When buying mobo and the CPU i let repair shop do the job about installing the hardware, you think it's the correct bios for ryzen 3rd gen? That's mean i can use ryzen 5 3600 right?
