I bought all the parts i need and i checked today and it said that it has incompatibility issues but few weeks ago didn't. It says that i need a bios update or something. I use the AsRock extreme 3 r2.0 motherboard and it amd fx8320. I saw a guide about ASUS motherboards that can update bios without using a cpu or ram, just with a power supply but idk if ASRock extreme3 can do that. My build is this : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1OKjX
Build on pcpartpicker shows incompatibility issues that didn't show before. "May need Bios update"

You'll need BIOS ver. P.1.50 or newer. http://www.asrock.com/mb/cpu.asp?Model=970%20Extreme3
I don't know why PCpartpicker wouldn't have told you about this before. Nothing has changed regarding that motherboards compatibility with the Piledriver chips.
While there is no way that I know of to flash an Asrock board BIOS without a compatabile CPU, if you find the BIOS on the board you receive is older than P.1.50, contact Asrock support. They may be able to send you a new BIOS ROM, or even exchange yor motherboard for one with an updated BIOS.
