Question Would a Ryzen 3600 compatible with an MSI B450M Pro-VDH Plus (also KLEVV Bolt X RAM)?

Wondering if those three components would be compatible with each other. I am planning yo upgrade from an i5 to a ryzen 3600. Thank you.

Get a B450 Tomahawk so you can use bios flashback. Otherwise you'll need a bootkit from amd to use that other board.

I have an mATX case, unfortunately. What do you think would be the best solution? Should I just go for the AMD loan program or buy an athlon and sell it later on? I am hesitant on how complicated the loan process will be.

You could buy a used athlon from a seller that accepts returns and return it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Athlon...058925&hash=item4d8a39c2c5:g:8K4AAOSwMOVcSNlY

There's a new one. There might be a restock fee but it'd be totally worth it if you don't wanna get the boot kit.

I don't think there is any seller much like that one around me, or in my country for that matter. I'll still try to ask in a local forum though.

My best options that I know of are two that I listed above
