Im using Pcpartpicker to plan my build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MytjQD) but pcpartpicker say that ASUS A520 motherboard is not compatible with the RYZEN 5 5600 but in the asus official website (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-A520M-A/) it say it RYZEN 5000 ready so i am confused and which is the right one?

Even if you don’t plan on Overclocking don’t go with an A series board. Just get a decent B550 board and call it a day.

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

In addition to this, the A520 board is a bad board to be pairing with the Ryzen 5 5600 as the power delivery is pretty awful and no heatsinks over the VRM/MOSFETS. There is reason why the 5600 and the A520 are not compatible. Get a good B550 or B450 motherboard.

they're compatible, it's just not a board you'd want to use with the 5600x.
