I'm planning an APU build with an A10-6800K as an xmas present. I want to use an mATX motherboard, but some of the reading I've done of old forum topics seems to mention that with certain motherboards, you need to update the BIOS with a Trinity APU before Richland ones will work.
Is this true for only certain chipsets? I'd really just like to get a mATX motherboard and have it work with an A10-6800K out of the box.
Just as a note, the motherboard I was thinking about getting before I put everything on hold to learn more is:

I've built a gaming rig before, but I'm very new to AMD parts, so sorry for the ignorance >_<
