8GB RAM DDR3
SilentiumPC 450W

To :
Mobo - ASRock B450M Pro4
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600

Thank you and yeah it should be. The case I´m probably gonna buy is Zalman Z1 Neo. But I´m still not sure what motherboard to choose. Is it worth to spend a little more and buy an ASRock B450 Pro4 (the ATX one) ? Or do you have other ideas?
 
Be careful of using any AMD series 400 motherboard chipset and Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs.
Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revision - this link explains.

New PSU not powering up

I recently upgraded my computer with a brand new motherboard,CPU & GPU. I purchased a new PSU as the one I had would run the fan but not turn on the screen & accessories. We are trying to install the new PSU but it won’t seem to turn the computer on, it just lights up the motherboard but...

Consider either of the following which do not require CPU to update BIOS:

MSI B450 Tomahawk
MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon or any of the gigabyte b450 mobos that have Q-flash plus technology.

Yeah I read about that some older mb's do need a BIOS update but I found that this asrock mb is now manufactured with BIOS version that's "AMD 3000 ready" so no need to update but even if I had to I would manage to update that bios. But thanks for your warning and advice.

Yeah, I had that problem with my Tomahawk going to a 3600
Thankfully you can flash the bios using a usb stick on a port on the back but still a bit of a pain
