I've compiled insights from the community on suitable parts for your current setup. Would you like to confirm a few adjustments or finalize these choices? Also, please note whether your case can accommodate the motherboard. Thanks!

Looks possible, though the motherboard may need a BIOS upgrade to back Ryzen 3rd gen. Uncertain about that.

Yes, it matches the Thermaltake Smart with 80+ White certification. Here’s the PSU link: [link].
Regarding RAM, let me know what you have or need.

All MSI MAX boards come pre-equipped with Ryzen 3000 processors, and most components are already optimized for this chipset version.

Just a quick note about the release details—some people didn’t support it at first, but I’m here to assist you.

The Power Supply matches what was listed in your original post. I recommend keeping it unless you want to upgrade RAM now. With 8GB of RAM, upgrading to 16 or 24 is feasible and not urgent at this time.

I suggest avoiding that PSU. Consider a Corsair CX550 or Be Quiet Pure Power 11 500W instead. These offer better quality for a setup like this. Should you choose an 8GB stick, what speed would be ideal? Ryzen benefits from quick memory, so if your RAM is slow I’d advise upgrading to faster options—such as a 2x4GB or 2x8GB kit with 3000Mhz or higher. If it’s an 8GB unit, opt for a high-speed version. My earlier response might have seemed harsh, but my goal was simply to reassure you that this board supports BIOS updates and is compatible with Ryzen 3000 systems.

No problem! You seem to have enough RAM, but would you like an additional 8GB slot? Also, is that the power supply you’re referring to?
