Its fun going to those websites though. Some people are very creative insulting each other sometimes.

I'm thinking of grabbing an MSI B450 Carbon pro and a Ryzen 3600, will this be a good choice for a budget next gen Ryzen build?
Do I need to worry about Bios updates, compatibility etc?

My motherboard arrived pre-opened but then how can I expect the retailer to update the BIOS otherwise? Agreed about buying motherboards from the rainforest though. One way to avoid getting a returned CPU is to buy on day one.
If you agreed with retailer for them to flash the bios, then yeah thats fine with me its a special case.
Also your day one comment is good advice, especially after what 8pack revealed that late in cpu manufacturing runs, binning of best parts can happen to move them to a new planned SKU, sort of like how late 8700k batches were all silicon losers because the winners were moved to the 8086k sku.
I returned my "clearly used, creased manual, opened accessories" asrock fatality k6 z370 to rainforest, (also faulty dodgy dimm sockets) and I expect they didnt test it and resold as new, I was refunded 5 mins after I shipped it, and when I rang was told to not bother putting notes on the RMA as it wont get read LUL. The only reason it was purchased from the rainforest was because OCUK didnt have it in stock but when I did the RMA it was in stock and also gibbo put it on sale (day after I asked himto, was nice of him), so I got the replacement from OCUK, and the manual etc. looked new and board is fine (aside from coil whine).

I wasn't talking about those results. They mean nothing to me. I just meant in general. What I'm moving from, even the 3600 will be a night-and-day difference.
It's quite possible. Zen 2 FPUs will be more power hungry than previous generations.

Do ocuk offer bios update on x470 if you're without a chip and wanting ryzen 3xxx?

It isn't, but right-clicking on the broken image icon to open in a new tab works.

They will, but only after the initial release/rush has died down - approx a few weeks after launch from my conversation.
They won't be overtly advertising it (not planned) - and only offered to those that ask on an ad hoc basis (confirmed in CS Forum earlier this week).
