Yes, and maybe a little bit of video editing, I want to mainly play csgo at 200+ fps (medium/low settings) but have the confidence that I can run other games.

I originally selected that one, but the compatibility warning scared me

You just need a BIOS update. If you get an MSI board, most of those don't even need a CPU to do that, they have a BIOS flashback feature.

If you purchase a motherboard that requires a BIOS update to work with the 3600, AMD will ship a free loaner CPU if you contact customer support and provide proof of purchase.

They loan you a basic CPU to do the BIOS update if your board can't flashback by itself, then you send the borrowed CPU back.

So would that be my plan B if I can't flash it

if you want a motherboard that can flash without a CPU:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9C97YJ/msi-b450m-gaming-plus-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b450m-gaming-plus

it has a button in the back that uses a flash drive to install. useful if you don't want to wait in the mail for the loaner CPU

But Q-flash requires the components to be in the and it will only work if it has a supported cpu installed. so guess im redoing the list, but hey atleast Im learning allot
