So after a lot of debating and thinking, and after a lot of advice, this is the build i am thinking of going with. My budget was originally around 1100 but i can squeeze a little bit extra not a lot tho. Please read over it and tell me what you think. I aim to play games like MW, Bf5. CSGO, Fortnite, and do a lot of school work with it all at 1080p at 244hz and at ultra if i can. Tell me what you think and if i should change anything and i will see. Thanks

And i am really worried how my mobo says that my 3600 might need another cpu to update the bios please help me and tell me if thats wrong. And PC partpicker also says there are some dimension issues, is it correct?

MOST B450 mobos are not GUARANTEED to ship with a Ryzen 3000 BIOS. If you get a board that didn't ship with a Ryzen 3000 compatible BIOS, you'll need a 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen CPU to perform the BIOS update with. Computer stores (like Fry's / Micro Center) can perform the BIOS update for you (probably for a charge unless you buy the mobo from them)
Exceptions to the rule:
On the build. Looks pretty good so far:
  • Maybe try with the stock cooler before you buy the 212 Black
  • $95 is insane for a Corsair CXM 650W. Thanks COVID.

Do you have a better suggestion for the psu, and ill probably hold out on the cpu cooler or maybe not idk yet. And if i bought this board I'm safe for thee update thing ? These are the 2 board i might switch to so i can be safe. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jcYQzy/msi-b450-tomahawk-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-tomahawk-max https://pcpartpicker.com/product/43...tx-am4-motherboard-b450-aorus-pro-wifi-rev-10 Please let me know.
