best Asus board for Ryzen 5 2400g, lower budget build.

[UberOriginal]

I am completely partial to Asus. The R5 2400g Serna like the most bang for the buck. Was looking at the Asus ROG Strix b350-f. But from what pcpartpicker.com says I will need to update the bios to use that newer processors. Is there a way to update the bios without a processor in it or get to bios with the r5 2400g even though the board hasn't been updated for it. Also looking at the x370 stuff, it's a lot to take in, i do like the rgb aurora stuff: ). My biggest problem is I need integrated graphics! I can't afford any decent GC with my budget. I'm working with 700 even. Going to take the solid state from my laptop, basic case nova 650w psu.

Any info or above is greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your knowledge.

How did you get the integrated graphics to work?

Sounds like you hit a sweet spot.. a full system upgrade capable of 1080p gaming costing just a tad more than a discrete card alone does.

Are WE hurting for a BIOS to run it? I am afraid it is 1\2 baked right now......with incompatible BIOSs, from months on the shelf!
