[SOLVED] Motherboard BIOS update, PSU suggestions and cooler mounting help

[wilmerkluever]

Hi, I made this part list which I would like to build, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nDx33b , but the first thing you see when you click on the link, is the incompatibility warning. It says the BIOS is old so I might need ANOTHER CPU to get access to download the new BIOS. I understand that, but does anyone have experience with this specific mobo or will I have to choose another one? I don't really want to get the x470 because it's too expensive for my needs... Only if I really have too.

Also, no matter what motherboard I choose, the warning of getting a separate mounting adapter for the cooler stays there. Where do I get such an adapter for the R5 2600? (I put the price for the cooler to 0.00 because I will probably not buy it from the start)

Can someone recommend a higher rated psu around 600W-650W? I don't know If what I have on the list is the best option.

Sorry for asking so much questions I am still learning about the parts. Any other suggestions on my build would be appreciated!

Thanks

Not too expensive decent psu for not too much more,
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/B9CD4D/antec-earthwatts-gold-pro-650w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-ea650g-pro

You can get the Cooler Master adapter in their shop,
https://www.cmstore.eu/spare-parts/hyper-212-evo-accessories-pack-new-version-with-am4-but-no-socket-775/

Why do you want a X board? Why not just get a good B450 motherboard? Like,
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/4D7v6h,Pq97YJ,PCKcCJ/
still put a X470 in.

Also with Ryzen use dualchannel ram,it helps.

It really helps if you give a budget. Also at the right hand top you can change the country at which the pcpartpicker is set iof you live not in the US.Maybe your country isn't between them,but look.

Ok, I know dual channel helps but I plan on adding another 8gb stick later.

I live in SA so my budget is around 10 000 rand but since the rand is really weak now its about 700-750$. That's why I can't change the pcpartpicker location thingy or buy from newegg because they don't ship to SA(The psu you linked). There is places where I can buy from in SA but it costs like 5300 rand for a GTX 1060 wich is equivalent to about $360! That's why I'd rather buy from places like amazon and outlet pc.

I guess I can go with a b450 mobo, but those don't support 3000mhz ram and I am little scared to fiddle with things in the bios to "underclock" my ram. Also a lot of 3000mhz ram kits are actually CHEAPER than the 2666mhz kits...

Update: I think I found a better Mobo and psu and a easier cooler solution: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DdMjbX

Why not start with the stock cooler and a 1tb hdd,might give enough room for 2x8gb of ram.

I am going to start with the stock cooler. 2x8 gb is still bit too expensive just for going with 1tb hdd. It saves me about 15$ where another 8gb stick is 70$.
