Hello, your current setup includes a Ryzen 5 2600, MSI B450, and MSI RTX 2070. You're considering upgrading to a Ryzen 7 3800X—check if your motherboard supports that processor.

The 3800X should function properly, but you must update the BIOS first. Certain MSI models require the newest Beta BIOS for Ryzen 3 to operate correctly—this worked for my X370 Gaming Plus.
