Nothing, your system is fine. It will probably work without an issue. Only, be prepared to find someone with an older Ryzen chip- a friend, a store, someone- in case the BIOS on your motherboard isn't updated and you need to update it to use the newer Ryzen.

 

To repeat: The CPU you chose is compatible with the motherboard, but only with a BIOS update. The motherboard probably comes with the BIOS update installed, but just in case it doesn't, you will need a chip that is compatible with the old BIOS (2nd gen) in order to boot using the old chip and update the BIOS.

Where can I find one

Budget (including currency):no £1000 

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft

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):just need a hand because it says incompatible and I need a video card.

I am new to PCs but I know the basics

Are you planning on posting them? If the question is about why they are incompatible the details at the bottom probably tell you.

Or are you instead looking for advice/review of your build?

I don't know if it is right about them being incompatible

As I thought, the incompatibility is that your motherboard's BIOS may not be updated enough to support a newer processor. You may, but most likely won't, have to use an older Ryzen chip to update your BIOS before installing the new processor.
