I am thinking of buying a Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H with the pentium G3258 but it seems like you need to have a BIOS update if you want to use Haswell-Refresh CPUs.
Since I do not have a processor that supports the motherboard out of the box, is there any way I can perform a BIOS update?
If not, I would a Z97 motherboard.

that a new mb and your lucky the default or first bios is f5. the bios needed to post the cpu your looking at is f6. there only one other bios after it the f7 bios. you should be able to ordered it or buy it from newegg or microcenter or online and ask to have them check to see if the mb is f6 or f7 bios before it shipped to you.
