Question What's a cheap decent motherboard for i5 9600k

[Sipan9000]

I need to build about a dozen good office computers for my friend, he wants them under $500 with a great processor so I decided on a 9600k with uhd graphics. I'm not sure what motherboard I can get for a good price that I wont have to update the bios (because i really dont want to do it on 12 computers) anybody have a suggestion?

The i5 9400F does not have the Integrated graphics, you need to buy a GPU. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core i5 i5-9400F.html

Yeah i need integrated graphics or else the 9400f would be my first choice, but that motherboard looks pretty good, does it support 9th gen out of the box?

It depends on what cpu you will buy, you can use the 9400f with that MB out of the box, it needs the 1st version BIOS. Here is the MB cpu support list https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/B365M Pro4/index.asp#CPU
