I am building a new system and the parts are on there way so just making preperations so am all set to go when everything arrives. The parts for the build are as follows :-

Case : Cougar MX660 Mesh RGB Tempered Glass Mid Tower Case

Motherboard : Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite V2

CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

GPU : ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AMP Extreme Holo

Memory : ADATA XPG GAMMIX D10 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 RAM

PSU : MSI MPG A850GF UK 850W 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular PSU Power Supply

CPU Cooler : be quiet! BK022 Dark Rock Pro 4, 250W TDP, CPU cooler

Plus extra 120mm fans (3 intakes from front, 1 outtake back and 2 outtakes top)

Storage : Patriot P210 256GB 2.5" SATA 3 Solid State Drive, 256GB Capacity, SATA III Interface
Plus three of my existing 8TB 3.5 Hard Drives

Windows 10 Pro

I have seen videos stating that the BIOS may need flashing straight away with the Q-Flash button to support the Ryzen Processor. However the videos are a year or two old so wondering if mine is supported now right out the box? On the Gigabyte website it states that it supports Ryan 5000 series so not sure if that means will work straight away or still needs flashing.

I am planning on updated the BIOS if a later one is available anyway but was hoping could get it all installed first then do it on the BIOS Screen rather than use the button.

My question also is will I need to go out and buy an older USB stick for it to work as according to the videos it can be rather picky. I have a 64GB USB 3.0 so wondering if I need a USB 2.0.

Thanks in advance

Heya, as this is the forum for the system intergrator PC Specialist, we won't be able to help you with a self build here. Your best bet would be an open forum like Tom's Hardware or LTT, or the r/buildapc reddit. Best of luck with your building endeavours!
