If it was manufactured recently or the stock was new it will most likely support it 

If it didn't ask the computer store to update it for you

If it has the sticker then it will boot fine. You will also have to update to the latest version of the BIOS after you set up the system, though, since running on older BIOS versions can cause issues.

Step one - close pc part picker

Step two - profit.

 

The system will work fine as everyone has already told you. The sticker means the BIOS is new enough that the 3600 will work out of box. After the system is set up, you will update to the latest BIOS version so as to avoid issues and bugs that have been fixed

PCPartPicker will say that for any non-B550/X570 motherboard.

If it's got the Ryzen 3000 Ready sticker, then it's compatible.
