Hey guys,

So, I've been thinking of building a computer for a long time.

These are the specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LQgvBP

I've noticed a problem that PCPartPicker is telling me:

"Some Intel H110 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."

Since I'm not certain if my motherboard is gonna come in with an updated person for my G4620, I did some research and decided I was gonna use the EZ Flash utility tool. I grabbed a 16GB USB and formatted, and added a new update that supports the G4620.

My question is, Acknowledging that my motherboard probably won't come in with a recent version of it's BIOS, am I still able to use the G4620 on my mobo to go to BIOS and update it? Or do I need another CPU to connect to the mobo in order to update the BIOS.

I'm wondering if there are any other CPU's that are compatible with this mobo that run at nearly the same speed, AND at a fair price. I receive any feedback.

I already have a case that is compatible with the mobo, a 500W powersupply, and my 1050 TI 4GB

Thank you all.

Or, you can order a BIOS chip on ebay and replace the board's one.
