Question Feedback on planned new build

[tacticalkali]

Hi there,
First itme building a PC in 7 years.
Currently running an i5 4460 on an old Z97 Gigabyte board, with a GTX 1050.

Looking to upgrade to an AMD 5600X. I'll show you the build on PC Part Picker https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Brb2W4

I'm going to probably stick with the 1050 now, I'm aware it'll probably be a bottleneck. The only game I really play is GTA 5 and AFAIK that's more CPU than GPU dependable. I'm also going to reuse the SSD and HDD I have.
The only issue that comes to mind: firstly, how fiddly is an aftermarket cooler to install as this is my first time doing it
Secondly, has anyone used that MSI chipset/board recently, as I'm aware when the 5600x first came out it didnt support the cpu and you had to flash the bios.

Thanks

As far as pcpartpicker.com goes, they are actually rarely wrong about stuff. When it comes to added info like maybe needs a different mount etc, you have to consider the big picture. Places like Amazon and newegg have very fast turn around, stuff doesn't sit on their shelves for long. Other stores aren't as lucky, so if they ordered bulk rate Noctua U12S, they may have received 200, but only sell 4 a month. They often can't price as low as newegg or Amazon, because they get orders for 2000 and sell most of them in a month, lower profit margin, higher sales.

So the little guy may have stock from 6 months ago, prior to the coolers actually coming with additional mounts. So pcp cannot guarantee that a mount for lga1700 is included. Even with Amazon, the price might be from a 3rd party seller, so again can't guarantee the mount is included. Pcp does this for most platform changes, like saying a B450 could possibly need a bios update to fit a 5 series cpu etc.
