I'm super excited to upgrade my PC! I'm moving from a Ryzen 5 3600 and an RX 580 to a Ryzen 5 5600X and an RX 6700XT. I've got a B550M motherboard and I'm planning to get the Gigabyte GP-P650SS 650W power supply. This is pretty much my second PC build, and it's the first one I'm actually paying for myself, so I just want to make sure everything's good to go! Will this PSU be fine, and is my overall build solid?

Generally, B550 motherboards support the 5000 series out of the box, so you should be fine with the BIOS. If you're thinking about future upgrades, a 750W PSU might give you more room for expansion later, but a 650W will work if you go for a gold or platinum rating to ensure efficiency.
Considering the past issues with Gigabyte PSUs, I'd be a bit cautious about using that specific model. You might want to look into some other options just to be safe.
Yeah, just remember to update the motherboard's BIOS to the latest version before you install the new CPU. It's a crucial step to ensure everything runs smoothly!
