I have bought i5 4460
8gb ddr3 corsair vengeance

I have 3 budget motherboards to buy
From:

Asus h81m-cs
MSI h81m-p33
Gigabyte h81m-s1

Which should I buy...
I also heard that I might need some bios update....

I also have zotac gtx 650 non to 1gb graphics card and corsair vs 450 PSU.

They will all be relatively similar, but I would take the ASUS or Gigabyte. Those are my go to choices for motherboards, followed by ASRock.
I usually recommend staying away from MSI due to poor QC on their motheboards.

I do recommend you try to get an H97 board for the extra features, like the ASRock H97 Pro4.

As my budget was small and h97 here in India is very expensive than h81 ..... So I had to order asus h81m-cs🙁
Now I checked the Asus official site... It says if my motherboard has greater bios version than 302 then I don't need update...
Now after receiving the product If I needed to update...is it problematic or risky...
Can u also give me a little tutorial, how to update the bios..if needed.. Thanks in advance.
