Is that all i have to do

Do you have the motherboard already with a working 1st gen cpu to perform the update or are you looking into buying?

That, and have a decent quality 450W PSU (or better).

Graphics card is no problem but 3600 won't boot straight away. Need to get the motherboard updated with a compatible cpu. Need to do this first before installing 3rd gen Ryzen. Give the motherboard to a PC store for them to update with a 1st gen Ryzen cpu.

Or contact Amd for a processor loan.

Do what is most convenient to you.

R5 1600x

Should mention, the 1600x doesn't come with a cooler but the regular 1600 does.

If opt for 1600x,

CPU Cooler for Ryzen 5 1600X?

Is it better to upgrade bios or get the r5 1600x

 

[boju]

1600x is fine for 1660Ti. Pair the processor with fast ram ie 3200 CL 14 2x 8GB. Ryzen's performance is highly influenced by ram speed.

I suggested CL 14 memory because such ram from Gskill or Corsair use Samsung bdie chips and is most compatible with first gen Ryzen motherboards. Other higher CL ram 16+ commonly use different chips (Micron, Hynix) and may have problems getting fast ram running at their rated speeds. Bios updates have made memory compatibility improvements but not perfect. Samsung based memory has always been the go to ram for early Ryzen's.

Should i just get a better motherboard??

Would be a good idea. B450 & 2700x. 2700x comes with a cooler.

Can i put a ryzen 5 3600 on the b450

 

[boju]

Yes of course but if the motherboard isn't updated already (should say Ryzen 3000 ready) then need to get it updated.

Or go for an x570 for native support.

Is there a motherboard that i can just put the rryzen 5 3600 without doing anything

 

[boju]

Yea x570.

Any 5xx board is 3rd gen Ryzen.
4xx is 2nd gen Ryzen but may be sold as 3rd gen Ryzen ready.
3xx is 1st gen Ryzen and likely will need a BIOS update for 3rd gen Ryzens.
