Hi,

So basically i am upgrading from console to PC and i need
some help. I haven't purchased any of the parts yet simply because i and scared.
Scared that the parts wont work together and the fact that i mite of left some thing out.
I live in Australia and here is the link to the PCPartPicker build. Feel free to comment the new link with stuff added that i have left out or not done right.
PS. can some please tell me what "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions" Means. It says its a issue and i am scared like crazy

Thanks, Provility

Any AMD processor other than Ryzen is basically more than 5yrs old and obsolete and not recommended. It wont be able to handle the recent games either.
