[SOLVED] Ryzen 3 with a320?

[OblivionsEdge]

So I've bought a ryzen 3 3200g for a system I'm building for my girlfriend. I've been on this website numerous times and once posted a thread asking whether a b450 motherboard is necessary compared to a320, as the former tends to be more expensive, and this system is relatively budget based (ryzen 3200g and rx570 8gb). However I've seen a few posts online saying that a320 motherboard cannot have their bios updated to support ryzen 3.
Just want to know if anyone can help?

Cheers

Which motherboard exactly?

To figure out if the A320 will work you need to specify which board it is and if it ships with a updated BIOS by contacting the retailor.

msi a320 pro vd plus - this says supports ryzen 1 and 2, but it came out before ryzen 3 so I dont know whether i'll be able to update the BIOS?

Contact the retailer. If MSI shipped it with a updated BIOS it could be marked on the box with a 3rd gen ready sticker.

Besides that you could get a MSI MAX board which would work with that CPU or MSI has a few B450 boards that has a feature that allows you to update the BIOS without a CPU.

Note that only a few MSI boards have this feature.
