haven't built my pc because my current bios is most likely out of date for my motherboard. What should I do?

cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
motherboard: Asus rog strix b350-f gaming motherboard

Should I build the pc and find out if it is up to date enough to update it or should I request a boot kit from AMD and build it with the borrowed one and then switch to new one once pc is all set up and updated?

There should be a sticker on the MB box to say 2000 series compatible, if not you need a first series Ryzen or A- series APU to update to BIOS with AGESA 1..0.0.0a code. BIOS 3803 was first one and 4011 the latest version.
Before you order a kit from AMD, I would first check with local computer parts store or service and if they flash BIOS for you. It takes long time to do it from AMD.
