[SOLVED] will this build work? Issue with Ryzen 5600x and B550 MB?

Hey,

So I'm about to build my first pc. My technical knowledge is not bad, but not that great either. I was putting together this build and wondering if it will work in this setup:

(SSD not included cause Im using old SATA drives for now. Also, I know the new GPUs are basically impossible to get rn but I wanna at least try to get one for a reasonable price.)

I have 2 questions in particular:

1. on pcpartpicker.com it tells me that the B550 motherboards might have an issue with the new ryzen CPUs. Can anyone confirm that? Do I really need another CPU to perform a BIOS update?

2. Will the 550w PSU be sufficient? It should be by the numbers, but should I play safe and get a higher watt PSU?

The motherboard, if it has BIOS flash it wont be a problem as you can flash to the relevant BIOS without a cpu but I think you'll need a beefier PSU as the recommended for your GPU is 750w.
