If the PSU has green or orange letters, it's fairly low quality and recommended to avoid a Corsair VS with a discrete GPU. The newer Corsair VS with gray and white lettering is far more dependable.

Also, using very slow DDR4 RAM you rob your Ryzen of a bit of gaming.

Without a CPU to update the BIOS, you need to either get an x570 motherboard or upgrade to a higher-quality 450 motherboard that allows BIOS update without a compatible CPU in order to ensure compatibility. Some are listed here.
