Hey everyone! I'm wondering if this motherboard I found (check it out here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/H7yJDj) is compatible with my AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU. If it doesn't work, could you suggest a motherboard under £60 that has WiFi? Thanks for your help!

The motherboard and CPU both support the AM4 socket, so they’ll definitely work together! Just a heads up, consider getting a power supply with a bit more wattage, around 600-650 watts, if your budget allows for it.
Your build looks solid, but with minor tweaks, you can get a 1TB SSD and a newer graphics card for less money. Here’s a link to a build I created: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2HrTxg.
I need to keep the total under £500 though.
Yeah, it should work fine with your CPU! Just make sure the motherboard has the latest BIOS version. The ASRock B450M/ac R2.0 is compatible but might need a BIOS update if it's not already at P2.90.
Is it a good motherboard though?
Just double-check that the motherboard has the BIOS flash back feature, in case you need to update it later. Alternatively, you might want to consider a B550 board for better compatibility overall.
Can you suggest a B550 that fits under my budget of £500?
Could you recommend a good PSU within my £500 budget?
