Need assistance with a new beginning
I need advice since my current PC isn’t ideal for upgrades because the motherboard is quite old. I found an ASUS ROG Strix B450-F, which is an DDR4 ATX board with an AM4 socket. However, I’m not very confident with PC components, so can you confirm if a 1660TI and AMD Ryzen 5 3600X will work with this board? Also, do you recommend a budget-friendly yet reliable power supply? Thanks a lot!
Yes, the GPU and CPU—likely to work well if the board has the latest BIOS.
For a motherboard with assured compatibility, consider any of MSI's MAX boards like Tomahawk Max, gaming plus Max, or B450-A Pro Max. The ASRock B450M/AC is also current and suitable. When reviewing PSU guidelines, look at the tier list for comparisons. Tier B or higher is strongly advised.
I don't know a better CPU right now, but there are options that offer more safety and reliability.
Check BIOS updates to ensure CPU compatibility. For power supply, choose one that matches your system's requirements.
B450 MAX boards come with a warranty for updates. The Corsair CX550 offers a solid value option.
