Checking your components, I suggest selecting a compatible motherboard based on your CPU and RAM specs. You might want to consider upgrading the storage or cooling solutions depending on your build goals. If you're unsure, exploring different form factors or brands could help improve performance.

I just completed an AMD build using the B550 Gaming Edge WiFi and believe it’s an excellent board. It scores highly on both the VRM tier lists in forums and Hardware Unboxed’s B550 review. What made you select the NH-U9S for the cooler? If you prefer, Noctua is a solid choice, but the U12S is just $10 more and significantly better at cooling. The U12S Redux is also cheaper by $10 and performs even better. According to Noctua’s site, the NH-U9S provides only medium headroom, whereas both the U12S models offer more. Here’s Noctua’s compatibility checker for the 5600X: https://ncc.noctua.at/cpus/model/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600X-1047 I’d also suggest upgrading to one of those U12S coolers.
