I am planning on getting a Asus Z-97 A and a i7 4790k. The problem is that the motherboard adds support for the i7 4790k after a certain BIOS update. If the motherboard ships with a older BIOS do you think I will still be able to get to the BIOS with the i7 4790k in?

The BIOS in question is Version 0902 on the Asus website

You realize that BIOS was released a year ago? Unless you buy a motherboard from a place that keeps stock for a very long time, it will be delivered with a much newer BIOS.
