Hi, i'm building my first Gaming PC and would like some professional views if the build is alright

Just a note i will be reusing my Zotac Nvidia Geforce 1060 6GB Amp Edition!

I plan on using it to playing games like Fornite, LoL and Overwatch and some other triple AAA games in 1080p 60+ FPS. Do you think I should order from Germany or the UK? I've never ordered parts from other countries so I don't know where it would be better to order from.

Looks good but be warned that that CPU may not work with that motherboard out of the box, depends how old the stock is.

Thanks, do you think I should order the parts from Germany or UK?

Either or. Just get them from the cheapest source.

Order from UK for ease of customer support IMHO

Also Mindfactory don't ship outside Germany anymore.

Okay, so I went ahead and bought this parts list but turns out that as TerrorFirmer said the BIOS was not updated on MoBo to handle the 2600x. Does anyone know what I can do to update the bios on this thing?

You maye be able to flash off usb even without cpu. Some boards let you do this, some don't.

Fire off an email to AMD, they will send you out an update kit,, It's just an old school APU, you pop in into your MB and do the update. Then just send it back.

I was hoping there would be another method apart from the AMD boot kit, but what can ya do xD. I have already emailed
AMD and they said I need a summary of communication to say that Gigabyte can't help me with this. Though I've looked through some 'reviews' and seems like their support is normally slow.

Where are you based? If you're in Galway I have some 1st gen Ryzen CPUs.

I'm based in Mayo, 2 hour drive.

Better than a 2 week wait

True, but unfortunately I'm unable to drive.
