Hi Guys. So i am planing on building a PC with a FX 8320/8350 and a Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard and when i build this setup on pcpartpicker it says the motherboard would need a update. And my question is would the PC even turn on with not updated bios with this CPU. I don't know anyone with a FX 8000 cpu so if it doesn't turn on i would be f***ed. Please help

Hi, If BIOS version older than the required one, the board would not post. But... It is fixable and I'm 99.9% sure that the board you'll get will have a BIOS that will allow the CPU to run (manufactured after 2012).
