More Information

Alright guys I'm new here, and I'm new to building computers as well...So anyway, I bought a Asus P5N-E SLi and a E8400, and I've read alot about how you must update the bios to at least like 0803 or something.
Are you able to update the bios with the E8400 in it? Or do you have to buy a cheaper older celeron or something just to update?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW these are the parts I bought
Mobo-P5N-E SLi
CPU-E8400
RAM-A-data PC6400
GFX card- GTX 260
PSU-PC Power and Cooling 610 Watt
Case- Raidmax Dirk-Tooth
Hard drive- Samsung 160GB
