AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need BIOS Update

[graywolf69]

Hi guys! I'm new to computer building but am looking to build my own budget gaming pc within the next year. I picked out all the parts on pc part picker, but I am getting 1 error, "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs". Does this mean that I need to choose a new motherboard or cpu, or I just need to update the BIOS when I get the motherboard (If so, how??). Or is this just a mistake? Here's the link to my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/W9q9vK. Also, I would really appreciate comments on this build (Does it seem complete, will it run casual games well (mostly minecraft but some other games like assassins creed)). Thank you so much!

You're good. That MB will handle the 6300 CPU. I always update the bios first thing before loading windows if the bios is not the latest version. Seems to make life easier for me in the long run.

EDIT:
That system configuration will handle most games OK. I would get at least a 500W PSU, though.

Thanks for quick reply. Also forgot to ask, do I need the Rosewill RNX-G300LX 802.11b/g PCI Wi-Fi Adapter, or is wireless built into the motherboard? And when I update the BIOS, can I just do it when I start it up for the first time or do I have to do it externally somehow?

No wireless built in you will need an adapter of some sort.

Great motherboard won't need a BIOS update , that CPU is supported right our of the box.

You don't need to change a CPU or mobo. You "might" need to update BIOS but most likely, you won't even have to so don't stress yourself out.

You can update the BIOS before or after windows install. You can boot into bios once your build is complete and check what version you have and update it if needed or not. More than likely you will have the latest BIOS already installed. Most all builds I've done with gigabyte boards the latest bios is already installed. Just set it up right plus the memory timings and speed then install windows. This is the best approach from my experience.

And there is no integrated wireless with that MB.

As i seen on gigabyte website, your board support the fx-6300 cpu from F1 Bios, which is the default bios from the mobo. So don't worry because that it's just an advice about vishera cpu's on partpicker.
