I don't have my previous CPU as I sold it off already and now i need to upgrade to a 4590
Is there a way i could upgrade the bios without the cpu?

 
Not on that board. IIRC. There are a few boards that can Flash from a USB. I don't think that's one of them.

Borrow a chip from a friend (you in Central Florida, I'd help)

Go to a serious store or PC integrator, especially if you bought parts. there and they might do it for free/low cost. MicroCenter could do it, and when I had a TigerDirect store, they would do it too.

Get a cheap CPU, use it, then sell it on.
