Quote from OrangeStag2904 :
i think it really depends on your MB. Some 300 series MB might remove support for Ryzen 1000 series CPU to make room for Ryzen 5000 series. and some MB support USB drive update.

thanks man. what's the best way to find out how to proceed? I have ASRock Taichi x370 MB. don't want to brick my MB with current 1800x processor if it turns out that it doesn't work with 5950x. (though MB support have BIOS update for it).

Might need a firmware upgrade—almost certainly do.

Also need the old cpu to do the firmware upgrade I believe. Won't boot just with a new cpu.

Building a pc is easy. That website does most of the thinking for you. Pick a cpu and it will only give you compatible options for everything else.

I guess it can still be overwhelming…

It would be except for the 300-500$ motherboard and 300$ memory
And probably a better cooler unless you're on a Ryzen 9 already

And probably a better power supply if you're in the 750w range
