Honestly completely new to custom built computers, buying all the parts for a friend to build for me, on a low budget as currently a student.

The only thing i'm worried about after adding all these into partpicker is this warning:

Compatibility Notes

Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs.
Flag compatibility notes as incorrect


Will these parts be compatible out of the box? I searched for a motherboard that didnt have this warning but couldnt find one, if somebody could help that would be great, thanks :)

Also to confirm will this have 4+ USB slots?

Thankyou
 
Solution
If the motherboard isn't compatible, then all you need to do is update BIOS to the most recent edition. Other than that, it looks good.
The motherboard has 8 USB ports, not including the front headers.

For the BIOS Update, just ask your friend to do it for you since he is building it anyway, I'm sure he knows how to. Don't worry much about compatibility of the AMD CPU with the mobo you selected. It will be fine with the bios update

The 8350 currently is not a viable option when you can get an i5 for almost the same price.
