1. So buying any BIOS without a recovery button is still fine.It not able UPS , sometimes , bios will get corrupted if pc is infected with virus on UEFI.So it's the best to have a 2nd BIOS .I will check for which budget motherboard that have it.
2. If in the case , getting a cheaper motherboard socket like B450 is much cost much less than B550.It'll be around 2021 0r 2022 for AM5 , not sure maybe 10 cores? any news leak about it ?
3. When converting , whether a NVENC gen 6 still costly for turing card 2k series.SO any example video bunny encoding ? you are using 3600 , can tell on how is the performance when converting some video maybe 1080p mp4 vp9 to 1080p hevc 265 without lossing quality or maybe 1-5% is acceptable. Soon av1 in future.
4. What does different model ? using same brand but maybe in future will upgrade to the same model but surely will have a different dies but since i didn't OC do you think is better to get both at the same time ? but i do not need much too much ram 16GB is enough currently.
5. I too do not watch but just wanted to confirm whether 3600 can run 8k youtube build in graphic chipset am4.
6. Maybe find Hyper 212 EVO but what is the fan speed rpm and noise level ? actually what fan Hyper 212 EVO is using if it's silent ?
7. Windows 7 enterprise still support until 2023 if I remember , and there are custom patch for security release.So software only works with windows 7 and windows 10 sometimes is too troublesome with everytime updates takes time , no offline updates for user who only use slow internet smyx speed.
Not sure about USB port , are all usb 3 support backwards to 2.0 ? If not , try to find a motherboard which support USB 2.0 or a pci 2.0 card for usb 2.0 or ps/2 port motherboard or even slimslip 3.0 driver into windows 7 but need to dig which driver compatible.
Thanks I get most of the answer , now just need to research for 3600 vs 3700x speed on converting , suitable motherboard and ram.Hope price will drop at 9.9 or 11.11 promotion + voucher.

If anyone can test check , lets say download
https://peach.blender.org/download/ and convert it to something other format or quality , how long it would take ?
For additional information...
1. It's very unlikely that the UEFI will get infected by malware (yes UEFI malware exists, but very rare). This is not the 1990s/2000s anymore

2. No new leaks for AM5 for now, the only news so far is that AM5 platform will use DDR5 memory

3. Can't test this as I'm on a 5700 XT

4. Yup, it's better to get the same stick of RAM at the same time

5. The 3600 has no integrated graphics, but I did test 8K60 and while my CPU stayed under 10% usage, my GPU usage is pretty much maxed out (although to be fair that's more or less a limitation of GPU hardware itself)

6. I'm using this model, so you can do your own research
https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cooler.../hyper-212x-eu/7. Windows 7 (along with Enterprise variants) is no longer supported since January 2020, and if you want your machine to be less updated often there's always the option of deferring updates, or even the LTSC version if you can find one

No point going for an unpatched OS unless it's disconnected from the network IMHO. About apps that only work on Windows 7, there's always the route of VirtualBox (although I highly doubt a program for Windows 7 will not work on Windows 10)

Also the drivers available are only Windows 10 compatible, so that means you have to mod the drivers to work (may cause stability issues)
