PC Compatibility

Go to solution Solved by WambleCropped,

you typically dont want to spend more on a processor than a graphics card in a budget build especially. Also an RX 580 or 570 would be a much better choice for the card. Spend a little more on the mobo. Get an MSI MAX series mobo they are Ryzen ready out of the box

So i want to upgrade my PC to a Ryzen 5 3600X. After my upgrade this is gonna be my PC 

Im upgrading the CPU from a Intel I5 7600K and my motherboard from an Asus h1110m-r.
I was just wondering if everything is gonna be compatible cause I also need to change the Motherboard and im a beginner. I want to be sure everything is compatible before spending money just to find out nothing is compatible.

The Mainboard could be an issue.

With the bios update thing? 
(Some AMD B350 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.)

get a better GPU, dont worry a processor yet, the Ryzen 4000 is coming out soon, upgrade the CPU then abd get a good GPU now. The 1050 ti is not that great compared to an RX 570 or 580 or 1660 or 1650
