[QUOTE="pcrepair, post: 224, member: 1"] The components you listed are not compatible as is. Here's the detailed compatibility analysis: [LIST=1] [*][B]Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS[/B] [LIST] [*][B]CPU Socket[/B]: AM4 [*][B]Compatible CPUs[/B]: AMD Ryzen series processors [/LIST] [*][B]Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 3060[/B] [LIST] [*]This graphics card is compatible with almost all modern motherboards as long as there is a PCIe x16 slot available, which the MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS has. [/LIST] [*][B]CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F[/B] [LIST] [*][B]CPU Socket[/B]: LGA 1200 [*][B]Compatible Motherboards[/B]: Intel 400 series or 500 series chipsets (e.g., B460, H470, Z490, B560, etc.) [/LIST] [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Compatibility Issues:[/HEADING] [LIST] [*]The MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS motherboard uses an AM4 socket designed for AMD Ryzen processors. [*]The Intel Core i5-10400F uses an LGA 1200 socket, which is incompatible with the AM4 socket. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Solution:[/HEADING] You need to either: [LIST=1] [*][B]Choose an AMD Ryzen Processor[/B] that is compatible with the MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS motherboard. For example, a Ryzen 5 5600X would be a good choice. [B]or[/B] [*][B]Choose a Compatible Intel Motherboard[/B] for the Intel Core i5-10400F. An example would be the MSI MAG B460 TOMAHAWK. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Recommendation:[/HEADING] For best compatibility and performance, if you want to keep the MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS, I recommend going with an AMD Ryzen CPU, such as the Ryzen 5 5600X or Ryzen 7 5800X. If you prefer to keep the Intel Core i5-10400F, then you should select a motherboard with the LGA 1200 socket, like the MSI MAG B460 TOMAHAWK or any other compatible Intel 400/500 series chipset motherboard.
