Budget (including currency): Want to limit CPU, mobo, ram to about $400 CAD. No fixed budget for PSU, case, storage - I don't mind spending more on a nice case/PSU since I won't be replacing these for a long time
Country: Canada
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly programming for school, running multiple VMs is probably the most intensive task I'll do. I'll be gaming but only on Geforce NOW or light stuff like league of legends
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
I'm upgrading from a laptop but I already have peripherals. Currently have a 1440p 144hz monitor but won't be gaming much as of now since I'm busy with school. I want to go with a 650w PSU though since I might add a GPU in the future.

Edit: Just want to confirm, this mobo won't require me to do a BIOS update for the 9400 correct?
