I'm looking to upgrade my machine and just wanted to check everything is compatible and will fit in the case. This is my current specs

BitFenix Pandora Micro-ATX Case
Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake)
Asus Maximus VIII Gene Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit
Gigabyte G750H 80+ Gold 750W Modular Power Supply
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 WindForce OC 8192MB GDDR6

Im looking to change over to AMD with these
RYZEN 5 5600X SIX CORE
TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (WI-FI) (AMD AM4) B550 MICRO-ATX MOTHERBOARD
BLUE SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIE GEN3 SOLID STATE DRIVE

Does this look ok?

Hi

All parts are fine the motherboard wil need a bios update for the cpu to work and czan be done with bios flashback feature, Which according to the Asus website it has. Otherwise you would need another cpu to update the bios.

Asus special features
Bios flashback button.
