This is my first time attempting to put a computer together, I'm just hoping that this error isn't something I need to be worried about. And if you any other suggestions for the parts I picked, I would gladly be open to listening.

Unless you live in a very underdeveloped country with poor infrastructure and limited hardware availability, then any 970 series motherboard you're likely to receive will already come with the necessary bios version to run Vishera or FX Piledriver CPUs. Even in places that are off the beaten path, you're only likely to get a board that's old enough to have an old bios on it if you purchase from a local vendor that's had it on the shelf for some time. All the major suppliers will have current versions. If you're in the US, UK, Canada or Australia, you should be fine.
