I am planning to buy the FX-6300 AMD processor and I am going to use the Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 motherboard. the situation at hand is that the motherboard's chipset is the AMD 970 chipset.

I read that FX series CPUs need to update their BIOS to be used.

Do I actually have to update my BIOS?

no update needed

 

it works right out of the box

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

If it works, you won't need to update.

 

But, it's certainly worth a look. Check the changelog if there are some critical things addressed with new BIOS :)

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."
