So im using a fairly old asus b350 prime plus am4 mobo and im going to upgrade to a r5 3600 and 5700 xt, (im replacing my ram with 3200mhz awell same with the psu) but im just worried if my mobo will be fine for this cause im into pc's but im not really all the way into the details about parts and what they can handle so im just concerned that my mobo wont be able to hand this amount of power drawn through it and since its fairly old. (Roughly 4 years old) Cheers lads.

It may need a bios update to support the new chip. I’m running a gigabyte ab350m gaming mobo for my first gen ryzen 1600x and plan to just upgrade my cpu to a ryzen 7 second or third gen in the near future and have found that I will only need to do a bios update/flash so it’ll support the newer chip.

Try checking pc part picker, you put your parts in and they can check for issues.
