[SOLVED] Can an i7-9700K run freshly new in a MSI-b360 Gaming Plus motherboard?

[A Friendly Emu]

Hello bois. New PC builder
As I was re-checking for compatibility in my setup, I noticed that pcpartpicker pointed at the fact that "Some Intel B360 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions." Here are the parts, just in case:

• CPU : Right now looking at the i7-9700K
• Mobo: MSI B360 Gaming Plus
• RAM: 2 x 8 DDR4 2400Mhz Corsair
• GPU: RTX 2060 (and I think those are the basics that I should be checking for compatibility)

So my question is, is it possible for me to run a fresh new 9700K on a fresh new MSI B360 Gaming Plus, or would I really need a BIOS update? I am asking since I don't have any other CPU I could run the PC off of to update BIOS, so I want to know before spending my money.
Thanks in advance!

Read the Q&A's, it'll most likely need a bios update.

B365 does support 9th gen out of the box but this chipset is lacking some features, ie USB 3.1. Compare the differences.

Imo, should go z390 for that performance chip. Don't skimp on the psu, make sure it's a good one.
