MOBO to pair with AMD Ryzen 5 5600
I need help figuring out good mobo to pair with a Ryzen 5 5600. I heard thats a great cpu to pair with a 3060. In pc partpicker there is some compatibility issues that cone up when choosing a mobo with the cpu. Bios problems my friend said but i wanna make sure everything will be as smooth as possible with no bottlenecking as thats the main issue i am having at the moment. Want a mobo with wifi built in perferebly so I need some suggestions please and thank you!

Pretty much any b550 or x570 board should be updated to include a BIOS version that will work with Ryzen 5000 CPU's
If for some incredibly small chance that this isn't the case then if the board supports BIOS flashback then you can use it. BIOS flashback let's you put the BIOS image on a USB, plug it to a dedicated USB port on the back of the board, and pushing the BIOS flashback button will install that BIOS even if the CPU installed in that moment is not supported (and it'll even work if no CPU is installed at all)
I also recommend that you look at the Ryzen 5 5600 (non-X) since it has the same performance and usually is cheaper. Pick the cheaper of the 2
And yes, any B550 or X570 will work, but having BIOS flashback is safer
Sounds a little itimidating but alright, how do i update it to include a bio version that works with that cpu? Also for the second part how do I know if a board supports bios flashback? When looking at mobo specs on pc part picker im not seeing a deacription mentioning if it has that or not
If you could, can you link me one that you would recomend for me? one with wifi as stated before. But no pressure

@hunter_ap Opinion on this MOBO?
IIRC it's a good one, and I wanted to get it but it wasn't available where I lived at the time.
I'd look up reviews, probably.
