I currently have a 3200G with A320M and the current bios ver is 7.00 should I upgrade the bios to 7.10 and then to 7.20 or can I just skip straight to 7.20 (or is there a better stable ver?)?

If you have 7.00 installed you should install 7.40, as it is the latest stable release.

I'm kinda scared to update cause I saw some forums on Reddit and other websites of people having problems with their 5600X on A320M and problems from 3200G to gen 5 ryzen I just wanna know whether it's safe or not.

The board is validated to work with a 5600X so it should be fine.

Should I wait on the 5600X to arrive first then update it to 7.20 with 3200G?

You can do it now, but I'd wait until the 5600X arrives. If you live in an area with a high chance of power cuts, make sure you have a UPS.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

While I believe I have an decent amount of experience in spec’ing, building and troubleshooting computers, keep in mind I'm not an expert or a professional and I make mistakes.
