[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 3600, PRIME A320M-K, and GTX 1660 Super

[wulree]

GTX 1050ti
PRIME A320M-K
Ryzen 3 1200
2x8gb Corsair Vengeance
80 Plus Certified 500 Watt PSU

and my questions are, can i upgrade my Ryzen 3 1200 to a Ryzen 5 3600 on my MOBO? i know a320m's arent that good, and i plan to upgrade that soon, i just want to know if there will be any technical issue getting in the way, (and yes, i already updated my bios.) I also plan on getting a GTX 1660 super to lessen the bottleneck with the cpu, will that fit in my case?

CPU Support list - note the 'Validated since' bios version#. Your motherboard needs to be at or above the version listed.

Bios downloads in case you need to update before upgrading the CPU.

If your plan is to use the Ryzen 5 3600 only in stock with acceptable cooling, that's fine.

What is the brand and model of the power supply, from the picture it does not look very good. Most likely you would want to swap that to a good model instead of replacing the motherboard, which is fine to use.
