Hey everyone! I'm trying to build my first PC since the pre-built one I bought a while back isn't cutting it anymore. I'm on a budget of £400 and I'm considering using an MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI micro ATX motherboard paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 8500G 4.1 GHz 6-core processor. However, a friend mentioned that these parts might not be compatible, or that the performance could be limited. Here's the link to the parts I'm looking at: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/89bq2x. I also have an Aerocool Streak case and an RTX 750 GPU from my old build. Any advice on how to make this PC work for 3D modeling and gaming within my budget?

With a £400 budget, I'd highly recommend looking into used parts. You might want to find a solid AM4 combo without a GPU and consider getting a used RTX 3060. The used parts market can be tricky for beginners, but it's worth it for cost savings!
What do you think about my choice for the motherboard and CPU? Will they perform well, or will I hit limitations? I'm hoping to be able to upgrade in the future!
