The other mainboard you choose did not have BIOS flash back so you would have had a problem if it was old stock. With ne new mainboard you can flash the BIOS even if the one it ships with does not support the 5500. (Plus its chapter, better and you dont have any benefits with going with a B550 board because the 5500 does not support PCIe 4.0 anyway its more or less a rebatched 3600)

Hello, I saw your list and I made some changes. I switched out the CPU because the Ryzen 5 5500 is the dame as the 3600 so I just went with the 3600 because it's a bit cheaper. Since I was able to save some on the CPU I got you a better Motherboard, I went from B450 to B550 and it has much better features and upgrade-ability. The RAM I picked is the same speed you had but it has some RGB bling to it. I was able to fit a 1TB M.2 drive in the price. I changed the case and the one I have has 3 RGB fans included and its cheaper. I swapped out the Power Supply for a lower wattage unit but still really decent and I saved some money with it. All together I really Boosted what you were already building upon and I hope you like it. Please let me know if you have any questions, I have 30 years experience building PCs?
