I am building a pc and i am using pcpartpicker to make sure everything works and it is coming up with "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs" and i have a AMD FX-8350 CPU and a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming GPU and i dont know what the "Vishera" thing means or how it will effect my build. Can i please have some clarification please? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/HexicPog/saved/#view=kKDgXL
 
Vishera is the name for the FX x3xx series. My phenom II is codename Deneb, Intel has names such as skylake, or haswell.

As for that, early on with the release of the x3xx series not all boards would support the CPUs without an update, which you had to have a processor to do.
Now adays the boards ship with the correct BIOS to run the chips, but the warning persists.
 


So what mother board would you recommend? im looking to spend £70/£80 at most
