Hi,
Just got a new pc because I had a major issue with my old PC that kept giving me no signal. So I guessed it was the mobo was fried after troubleshooting every step I could think off, I am tech savvy but I am not familiar with new hardware and compatibilities etc.......
So anyway the NEW PC I bought because I had to get one fast to get back online in an emergency situation and could not wait the length of time it would have taken if I ordered online.
So I ended up getting a <Mod Edit> base PC Specialist system from Currys Store.
Anyway the mobo it has in it is a PRIME A520M-k and it has the <Mod Edit> budget Ryzen 3 4100 in it.
So I was wondering if my mobo supports the Ryzen 7 5700x? because that is the cpu I am looking at getting for this pc. I am also going to get a better PSU for it and 32gb(2X16gb DDR4 ram) too.
So would love to know if my mobo would support this Ryzen 7 5700x.
Also the PSU that my pc has in it is a rm550x modular one, so the PSU I will be buying at the same time as the CPU and Ram will be the rm750x Modular one, that way the swap over will be insanely easy and quick. I can keep all the cables intact because its nice and cable managed cos it was a pre built PCSPECIALIST pc. So I just need to unplug the cables from the back of the 550 psu and unscrew it from the back and take the old psu out and put new one in and plug cables back into the new one.
So last question is, Will I need to update my BIOS too? I checked the version it had, and it was dated 2022 and was version 2804 I think it was. So will this version support the Ryzen 7 5700x without the need to flash bios?
Lasty I have a 3060 TI I bought last year too. I am risking having it in this PC atm seeming it is only a 550watt PSU. But it has been fine the last week since I had it in.
Thanks in advance
