The 8500G actually comes with a stock cooler and you don't need to spend a wopping 100 bucks on an AIO.

The stock cooler will be more than adequate.

If you still want a cooler with some RGB then a Peerless Assassin SE120 RGB is half the price.

The particular motherboard in this list ( The one you picked ) Should work out of the box with a Ryzen 8500G and should not require a BIOS update.

I checked the motherboards website.

What you've compiled has restrictions such as lower PCIE CPU and is wasting money on a needless AIO and so on. Something like this gives you loads of headroom, great value for money and performance. Also 850W PSU gives you the ability to upgrade to most of the high end GPU's:

8500 isn't a succesor to the 7600. The 9600 is the successor next in line. 8500 is an APU spinoff generation.

But 7600 is $5 more. Might as well get that, you'll get free iGPU incase your GPU ever dies.

not always, newer isn't always better. In this case 8000 series are worse than 7000 series if you have GPU.
