I am building my first pc, and I have started purchasing the parts, but a post I read about the i5 4690k freaked me out. It said that the i5 4690k was only compatible with certain motherboards. This is perplexing, and I am wondering is this true? I have already purchased my motherboard, but not the i5 4690k. I have purchased the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
(link http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz97xgaming5 ).

So what do I do? I am in Canada, but I am ordering in the US and getting all my parts delivered to a shipping address there. Will the i5 4690k work with my motherboard, or do I have to get the i5 4670k?

Thank you

Also will I need to do a BIOS update, and if I do are there any sites that can walk me through it (I am new at building computers and messing with them, so I'd rather not mess my first build up.)
