I really do not want to update BIOS, will I have to? ( Motherboard/CPU Compatibility )

HybridWolf · May 7, 2017

PCPartPicker shows this quite often and I Usually just find another option/way out, but I really don't want to leave this build, so I'm wondering if I even need to get into all this hassle.

I do not plan to change much for this final setup.

I want to know if its possible to over clock the CPU, just as a reminder if I want to get into that stuff.

Second, is the motherboard too "New" that it won't need a BIOS Update? I do not have any older components that would suit this motherboard.

Thanks in advance!

( Problem in PCPartPicker : Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions. )

I might suggest that you get bigger computer tower with abit more room but good luck with your answer! But there is a warning on that link saying about

Budget is already above £500 Mark, can't really afford a bigger case. I chose this one because it already has 2 case fans in it. And choosing to install 2 more would be fantastic.

Thanks for the reply anyways.

is this a completely new build?

HybridWolf · May 7, 2017

It's going to be my first ever build.

I'll likely stick with this build for a long time, planning to use it as an editing + gaming rig.

It looks sweet to me.

Board and CPU are compatible right out of the box.

Why would you build a computer with an FX 6300? This is a much much better gaming build

Are you sure? I'd like to see picture proof, example CPU and Motherboard release dates, that may be helpful and such.

HybridWolf · May 7, 2017

chemmajorp53, I said I wasn't going to fluctuate things, I've chosen my parts and that's final.

Also because aesthetics.

And all those damm USB ports.

Then at least get a better power supply

HybridWolf · May 7, 2017

Also, the PSU is plenty enough.

GskillerX99 · May 7, 2017

you know, you are investing your cash in a dead socket. you should wait for Ryzen 3 CPUs to launch. the build you have planned out is not good value. wait for some time and you may get a good Ryzen 3 CPU and a cheap A320 motherboard, with better aesthetics...as is the trend today.

Ryzen is better at multithreading than the previous architectures, it will benefit you in editing and similar tasks.

HybridWolf · May 7, 2017

Could you compile a build on PCPartPicker featuring Ryzen? Keep it under £1000 And I'll be happy.

Make it best gaming/editing rig you can.
