Budget (including currency):  not needed just knowledge 

 

Country: usa

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: battle field 2042 as an example

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):  I am confused on how cpus work with motherboards I just want to make sure the ones I choose are compatible with each other:

MSI PRO B550-A PRO AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
 

AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000071BOX Desktop Processor

They are. But for pure gaming a 5600x is far better.

 

As far as cpu and motherboard this is the list you follow and only continue down if the answer is yes:

 

1. Are cpu and motherboard the SAME socket (as in will it physically fit)?

2. Does the chipset (in this case b550) support the cpu?

3. Does the CPU SUPPORT LIST on the boards WEBSITE list my cpu as COMPATIBLE?

 

If the answer is no anywhere it will not work. This board does support the 3700x.

Alright so just to double check when it says like ryzen 7 does that just mean the gen and the 3700 is the series. I’ll look in to that 5600 also
