Is this Mo/Bo decent enough to handle a 2600x nonOC?

Τhis is the Parts I'm going to take, as my budget is 392 EU exactly!

I can't go with ASUS B350 Plus because cuz I can't update BIOS myself.

I won't overclock the 2600x, and the GPU will be the 1150Ti/1160 in the near future, while my PSU is a 5-yrs old CX500W (I know it's not bad, but I didnt have any problems with the FX 6300 )

 
Solution
Yeah that will do fine.

You should plan to get a better PSU as soon as you can. At 5 years old your CX500 could be coming to the end of its life.

It won't harm my hardware right? If it goes down I'll buy a new one ofc :p

Can do if it goes bad. A PSU has the potential to blow up any of the components, its not worth skimping on the psu.

I would happily re use the PSU on an older system thats worth less, but not on a brand new motherboard/cpu/gpu.

I just checked it here, https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator, and my rig will consume under 400W.

Thanks for all of your replies!!
