FX6300 - Board with BIOS support out of the box

After years of sticking my toe in the water, I'm finally jumping in! I've decided on a FX-6300 build, but hit a bit of a snag as I did more reading and realized that many boards that are shipping don't support the new Piledriver chips without a BIOS update.

This creates a bit of an issue for me for a couple reasons.

1) The standard suggestion is to plug in an older AMD chip and update the BIOS, then put the new chip in. I don't have one and I don't know any computer builders locally. Buying an old chip for this purpose just seems like a waste of $$ and negates a lot of the cost advantage AMD may have.

2) I'm as green as it gets, and I really would like to limit the number of potential trouble spots. Putting the cpu in the socket and crossing my fingers to see if it works makes me a bit uneasy....

The only solution I came up with at this point is to buy the ASUS M5A97 R.2. I can at least plug a USB into the motherboard with the updated BIOS and flash it. That way I know I've got something that will work.

I'd prefer the Gigabyte 970A-UD3 - but I don't want to roll the dice from NewEgg only to find they shipped one of the Rev 1.x boards.

Am I overthinking this? Is there any way to work with NewEgg to ship the correct BIOS? Any other solutions? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question - but I'm trying to plan ahead.
