Hello everyone. I will be buying a ryzen 5 2600x, an asus prime x470 pro motherboard and the cmk16gx4m2b3000c15 ram. I was wondering what I have to do once I open my pc. Should I download any drivers or a bios update or something like that? Thanks in advance.

Download latest motherboard chipset drivers, GPU drivers etc from each manufacturers website.
You can download all motherboard/chipset drivers here: https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/PRIME-X470-PRO/HelpDesk_Download/

Shouldn't need to update BIOS.
I have a question. Do you think it worths it to buy a ryzen 5 3600 with the msi x470 gaming pro and that ram I mentioned, because it is 30€ more expensive than the asus prime 2600x combo. If I do that, how will I be able to make the 3600 work, since I don't have a ryzen 2000 cpu and can't update the bios. Is it worth it though? How much fps gain will I have. I have a gtx 1070 btw. What do you think?

Yes, imo it's worth it, depending on where you buy it from they might update it for you, (scan.co.uk will for instance, £10 I think). Or AMD are renting a bios update kit, basically a lowest end 2000 series CPU for £10, that you post back.
Thanks for the reply man, but I have decided to go for a 2600x. I watched benchmarks with a 1070 with both cpus and there's basically no difference at all.
