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.

As the warning states, you may need to purchase and install an older chip to then update the bios for the newer 5000 series, very common with amd boards.
