I'm currently planning to build a pc, and I know a little bit about pc building but not everything, was wondering if this would be a good rig and also wondering if I would have issues with bottlenecks?

What is your currency? 315$ for the 3600 seems high. But I am using USD so mine was just under 200$ US

I agree the MB is overkill. You don't need a 570. Even if you want to upgrade later to a Ryzen 9 3900. a 470 is more then sufficient. unless there things on the MB you only find in that model

Yes, tho Zen 2 doesnt have much OC room (rarely does more than 300MHz)

Just wondering what would be better about this build over the one above? Other than the price tag?

5700xt is superior than a 5700.

Faster RAM, better SSD, slightly better PSU.

Sorry for all the questions, does the motherboard support the cpu out of the box? Or will I have to flash the bios?

Yes, all the max series of motherboards support zen2 CPUs out of the box. No need of a BIOS update.
