Hello i would like to upgrade my cpu to a 6 core or an 8 core latest gen ryzen cpu and storage with a new case. I live in the U.S. My current build is: CASE: Themaltake Core V1 Snow edition MOBO: Asrock LGA 1151 H110M ITX a/c CPU: Intel kaby lake I5-6500 @ 3.2GHz RAM: Gskill rip jaws x2 8Gb DDR4 @2133Mhz GPU: Zotac GTX 1070 Mini 8GB Storage: 1x SP SATA III 240GB SSD 1x Segate 1TB HDD 7200RPM PSU: EVGA 750W SuperNova G3

 

I have a budget of approximately $600 and i my build must be a mini ITX and have built in wi-fi and im looking to OC the cpu and am willing to pay for RGB RAM and a NZXT cpu cooler. The theme of the build is black and white. I want the pc to be a streaming, gaming, and workstation for content creation. I will be keeping the GPU, PSU, and Stoage in this build, i want to have a NVMe SSD for increasesd speed. I will provide the link for the potential build i want. Also for the mobo im looking for more than one fan header in it for exhaust.

I wouldn't get that NVME drive, get something cheaper.

Other than that it looks fine.

If you're just gaming, consider the 3600x, especially if you're gaming at 1080p, or on a lower refresh rate display.

i do game @ 1080p and i want to stream, record, and edit video on this rig any other cheaper storage option and also pc part picker says the MOBO needs a BIOS update.

I am not sure about updating BIOS out of the box.

Ok just read this article from AMD about BIOS (also PCPP says that for every single B450 and X450 MB): https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-100#faq-Short-Term-Processor-Loan-Boot-Kit

Basically they can loan you an Athlon 200GE to update MB temporarily

so all B450 boards need a BIOS update?

Well PCPP is assuming that. If the MB manufaturor updated it or releases it to make it 3rd-gen ready then no.
