Should I be worried ? Help with a new build.

[Plato_]

Hey,
I am planning on building a gaming rig but I am not sure about the componant I chose. currently my budget is around 2000AUD and I came up with this build https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/hkqvsZ
should I be worried about the bios updating? like the incompatibilities ??

Thanks.

P.S
would love to hear some recommendations

It's more a time waster than a big deal. AMD will supply a loan of a compatible CPU if the BIOS needs updated to support the 2600. If you're bothered, get a cheaper PSU and replace the motherboard with the spare cash. You've way overspecced on the PSU (will consume 300-320W at most) a cheaper 550-650W unit will give some cash back for a board.

MSI tomahawk, MSI pro carbon AC (has wi-fi), Asrock pro4, asrock fatality k4, asus strix-f.

all good B450 boards

Why choose B350 when there are newer B450 boards in the market. I changed a few components in your build and added a better Gtx1080 GPU, B450 motherboard and much faster NVME SSD on the same budget. No compatibility issues in this one.
