Hi,
i currently have a computer with the Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 DVI motherboard, 8GB's of Ram, 2GB GPU, 80gb SSD, 2tb HDD and an intel celeron dual core G1610 running at 2.6GHz. This is the processor that came with the board and i was looking to upgrade it with a Intel Core i5 3470 3.20GHz Socket 1155 6MB L3 Cache.

My question is will i just be able "plug and play" without having to update the system bios or anything like that?

It would be a plug and play scenario, worst thing that could happen is needing a Bios update :) Also I'd recommend saving up and getting a better MoBo if you feel like you are lacking some features
