It's time to replace my 11-year old "gaming" PC. This will be my first full build.
I have replaced parts before, but I have never put a PC together from scratch.
I settled on the following parts:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($309.00 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B 51.17 CFM CPU Cooler ($49.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING CARBON WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard ($199.00 @ Amazon)
Memory: *G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory ($157.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 ATX Mid Tower Case ($154.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: *SeaSonic FOCUS 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg)
I'll be reusing my current video card (Radeon RX 580) and hard drive (Crucial BX500 2TB SATA SSD)
Does anyone have any concerns about these parts?
I've read about the need to flash the BIOS before inserting the CPU. This board has BIOS Flashback, so that should work, but some people have have had difficulties with this step.
Does anyone know if recent motherboards of this kind have already been updated to support the 5600X?
