Hi,
I am looking to build a new PC, is this a good starting point? I'm not looking to spend more than £750. Any changes and advice is very welcome

Here is a link to the parts list on pcpartpicker - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/jzhmJb (There is no case or PSU as I am resuing them from my old PC)

Heres a better one. Better SSD and a more powerful GPU.

Thanks dude

Quick extra question though, will I need to do a BIOS update for the CPU and Motherboard to be compatible or are they compatible out of the box? Very unfamiliar with AMD stuff so don't know if there's any kind of backward compatibility etc.
