Hello. I am buying a new computer to replace this toaster, and I am not going cheap. I went on Pcpartpicker to find some parts and i came up with a pretty cool build. However, I am not a professional, actually the opposite. So I need some help. Is this a good build? Why does it say i need to update the BIOS? And finally, Do you have any suggestions for a case? :)
Thx to anyone who answers!:D

The 300 series ryzen boards require a bios update to work with the 2000 series Ryzens, best to just get a 400 series motherboard. ALso you want faster ram with Ryzen as it performs better due to how infinity fabric works. You also don't need 650w for that system. I made some changes

Changed the board to a B450 so no bios issues
Added a 250Gb SSD for the boot drive
Changed the ram to faster DDR4 3200
Changed to an RX 580. The 6gb 1060 and the 8Gb 580 trade blows in games and the 580 costs less
Changed to a 550w PSu that is still a good quality PSU
Added a good(mid range) Phanteks case as you didn't list an overall budget.

 
If it's gaming in a 1080p 75hz :
