I recommend looking at the RX 580/590 8GB if it is in that price range I would get that over a 1650 Super.

 

Look at a motherboards like the ASRock B450M Steel Legend, Asus TUF B450M-PRO GAMING, or MSI B450M MORTAR MAX, they offer better VRM cooling.

 

Get the Corsair CX450W (grey label) it is a better quality made PSU versus the CV.

I would recommend watching Bitwits latest video as it breaks things down very well.

Yes, you would just need to update the Bios and that is it. Which is why investing in a slightly better motherboard now makes sense for future upgrades.

Just make sure it is the grey label CV unit and not a green or yellow label and you are all good!
