970 Motherboard Help

Go to solution Solved by KB_TheDireWolf,

I've used the MSI 970 Gaming with a FX-3600. Goto MSI web page of the 970 gaming under compatibility get a whole list of CPUs. 
 

I know I can do a much better performing PC, that that list you have....

Hello,

This is my first post on here.

My friend had bought the motherboard I was thinking about before I was ready... but oh well.

the link to the PC part picker build is here. and just in case I put it in words down here.

 

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor  ($119.99 @ Amazon) 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($59.99 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard  (ALREADY OWNED) 
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($59.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($77.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($64.99 @ Newegg) 
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 4GB Dual FTW ACX Video Card 
Case: Corsair SPEC-02 ATX Mid Tower Case  ($55.99 @ Amazon) 
Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($23.99 @ NCIX US) 
 
My actual worry was that the site says some 970 motherboards may need a bios update.
I don't know how to do that, or if I even need to. Please help!
