When the FX x3xx series first launched current AMD motherboards requires a bios update to support the new processor.
However, it has been years since then, so the boards ship with the proper BIOS.
I would not worry. It is an old message that still displays.

Maybe if it were an intel build or perhaps the cx 850.

Im a fan of the cx series with the exception of the 750 which appears to be the worst of the worst from what I can gather
