I considered purchasing the A520M Mobo, but the store where I bought it claimed it was out of stock despite my payment. Now I’m forced to buy a B450M-K II Mobo, which is a better option, but I need to figure out which BIOS version to use or if an update is necessary for my Ryzen 3 4300G.

It seems like you're questioning the size of the CPU given the availability of a 4500 and the fact that lower-end options are cheaper. The 4300g feels unusual, but it could be justified for the latest BIOS support. If you need the newest features, updating the BIOS might be necessary. Also, let's talk about your country and budget—what components do you already own? I can help optimize your setup or suggest alternatives if you're aiming for a more affordable build.

You already have your CPU and GPU, and you're working with a tight budget of about $500. Coming from South Africa, you're cautious about buying second-hand items, so you're being careful.
