I'm building my first PC, and I wanted to buy a H170 motherboard. I wanted to use a Core i5-7500 in it, but I need a motherboard that supports it.

After a bit of research I know that a lot of motherboards support it, but most need a BIOS update.

I'm ok with doing a BIOS update without a CPU (like Asus's flashback utility), but I don't have an older CPU, so I can't perform a BIOS update using a CPU.

I was looking for any suggestions for H170 motherboards that can do this. If there aren't any, I might have to look into a H270. Thanks

Are those boards ok for gaming with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti? I haven't looked into them.

UPDATE: After a bit of research, I've found that there's nothing wrong with these boards. Thanks for the help
