I'm putting together a new PC and wanted to check if my build is compatible. Here are the specifications I have:
- Motherboard: ASUS Prime B650-Plus Gaming WiFi ATX AM5
- GPU: XFX Speedster SWFT 319 Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB Video Card
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5, 6000 MHz CL32
- Processor Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120
- PC Case: Corsair 5000D Airflow
- PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 850W v2 ATX 3.1 (I know this is more power than I need, but it was cheaper than the 750W version for some reason)
I'll be reusing my M.2 SSD from my current PC, but I want to make sure everything else will work well together. Any advice?

Yeah, updating the BIOS is key! By the way, how much are you paying for the 6800 XT?
Definitely double-check that your BIOS is updated to the latest version. The B650 boards often need a BIOS update for the 7800X3D to function optimally.

I'm getting the 6800 XT second-hand from a trusted friend.
