Same comment as Sagat, why the 5600g instead of the 5700g?
As you will run vms, 8 cores was a no brainer. Saving some $ with a B550 motherboard and then going 5700g would have been a good plan.
The ram should be at least ddr4-3200, but 3600 can be had for almost the same price.
Changed my 6700k for a 5700g last month, no regret. The 5600g will be a good improvement anyway.
You may want to use the flashback button to update the bios before building, as the motherboard may come with an older revision not supporting the 5600g (did use that myself, thank god for that).
