Budget is around $1000 (Im new and need help)

xxCroissant

So I'm looking to get a PC around $1000, some problems I have run into in my research are as follows:
1.) All MSI B450 Tomahawks are sold out (looking for another option)
2.) PCPartPicker keeps giving me a warning that if I buy a 450 Motherboard that I will have BIOS problems, is that true?
3.) Im looking to add windows 10
4.) If I'm missing anything please lmk!
Here is what I have at the moment:https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=a7d49035-5544-417b-8d17-0f54d2d0f2a1
please feel free to help me I really need it!

Hi there! So the link you posted isn't actually the direct link to your build, just the configurator. You need to actually copy/paste the link on the right side of the configurator to share it:



Most 400-series boards at this point should ship with the correct BIOS loaded for Ryzen third generation CPUs. There will be a label on the box that says it's Ryzen 3000 Desktop ready, if that label is not there you'll probably have to update the BIOS to be compatible.

That's better! Overall that's a solid build, the one thing I would say is that for not much more money, you could get an EVGA RTX 2060 KO for about $310 (if it's in stock). That would be a nice upgrade over the 1660ti that I think would be well worth the extra $35 dollars. And of course if your budget is tight, you can always go with a cheaper B450 motherboard for that extra wiggle room. The B450 Tomahawk Max would be a good option.
