Hello all, I recently received an Asus X370 Pro motherboard for free. It's an AMD Chipset and I know the Matisse CPUs might require a BIOS Update to work on the motherboard, which I am not 100% comfortable doing. I was wondering what some recommended CPUs are for a good gaming setup?
 
Solution
First gen should work without issue, Second gen maybe, 3rd not likely unless whoever you got it from recently updated the BIOS.

Budget?

If you live near Massachusetts I'll help you upgrade it for free as then you could grab a Ryzen 3600 for it which is a solid CPU for the price.
