does a cheap motheboard effect gaming???

[i try and budget]

it looks like i3 4160 will work with Asus one without needing to update BIOS get he ASUS one than

your wont even boot up if the BIOS doesnt support you CPU

how can you tell it wont need an update? it says on pc part picker there might be an update,i do trust u more than the site but just curious hownu figured out i wouldnt need to update

i fit would need an update ti would it says so in the note. and about partpicker it all automatic if you put and H81 or B85 motherboard in you system it will say the same can you imagine pcartpicker staff looking at for every motherboard if it supports certain CPU without BIOS update

as i said in post earlier because there is no note that means that every motherboard has factory installed BIOS that support i3 4160

ive seen people make gaming pc build with like a 30 dollar motherboard?.?...

heres my build

would getting a cheap motherboard change my performance if i got like a 30 dollar one lol?

No it would not, only performance issues you may run into is speed of ram or speed/capability of future processors when you decide to upgrade from that, my system runs on a board in that price range.
