Ryzen 5 2600 motherboard board?

[tangovicta]

Hello I was thinking about upgrading my old AMD phenom II x6 to a ryzen 5 2600, however before I even added it back to the cart I noticed a big problem with the ryzen 5 2600.. people all over the internet are going bat sh*t because they have to update their bios.

What motherboard can I get without having to mess with the bios, like an activated apu or whatever the CPUs requirements are?

I don't really want to spend more than 120$ on a motherboard, but I also don't want to spend money buying an extra CPU to update the bios.

I was looking Into a motherboard it's the gigabyte 470x for like 110$

If I by a ryzen 5 2600 would this CPU be ready to use or would you still have to update the bios?

Any tips and help is appreciated, thank you

The x470 supports it instanly no need to update. If later on you want the 3th gen ryzen you can update it so it will support the 3th gen
