Hello,

So im upgrading my brothers pc and with €500ish budget i came up with this:
https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/3kx7d6

i think this will work but i do have a question.

Does the mobo need an bios update for the proccesor? if so is this something i can do myself? never done that before.

He will use this mostly for gaming and a stream every now and then.
His 650ti will be upgraded later this year.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Yes motherboard will need a bios update, get B250 board.

Also the stock cooler is fully adaquete for non-overclokable cpu like the 7500.

Only reason for an aftermarket cooler (at least for that CPU) is if being put in a very restricted case that you cant add fans to and that is your only option.
