Getting in BIOS after changing parts for PC?

Dijon

Hi guys well I found my parts I will buy them soon (no need to change PSU as GPU has same power usage as my GT 240 which is 300 watts), but my question is after I swap the graphics card or the CPU or RAM, do I have to do anything on the mobo BIOS? I have never been in BIOS and Im afraid I might mess it up. I dont think the CPU will be a problem as the Motherboard is a MSI (but old) so it should instantly accept it without change but Im not sure, this will be the last question so thanks a lot for the previous help guys. Many Thanks Dijon,

PS: Here are mu current PC specs:

Medion MT7 490G

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

Micro Star, MS-7358

4GB of DDR2 RAM 667MHZ, 2.75GB usable left, (Motherboard supports up to 8GB of DDR2)

500GB HD and 250GB HD (no need for Hard drive replacement a I have enough)

Nvidia Geforce GT 240 (Should I keep this card and replace only CPU and RAM? This way is cheaper and again I dont mind low settings, but need minimum 30FPS)

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (Was upgraded from Windows Vista)

PSU 300 Watt (I think its intergrated in case? Im not sure I dont think it is)

PPS: Here are the new parts I will buy for the PC soon:

8GB of DDR2 800MHZ RAM (2GB each slot)

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (I checked the socket of the mobo and it should fit)

Nvidia Geforce GT 1030 GDDR5 (my mobo supports this card)

Thanks for the people who helped me last time but if any one can help me in this last and final question about the BIOS I would be very grateful, :3.

You shouldn´t need to change anything in the BIOS for it to work, at most if you hit the reset button might have to set the boot order again.

You need to reset BIOS only in two situations: When you add RAM which isn't same speed as ones currently in and you are using XMP or some other overclocking profile; Or when you change CPU and you had overclocking or other such settings with previous. You only need to tweak settings if you change drives around and need to tweak SATA or boot settings.

Ohh well I think the RAM has a slightly different speed from the orginal (not by much though), so what would I have to do, sorry for BIOS I am a complete beginner.

PS: Thanks for previous help, :3

Well I was planning to play any game (forntite, GTA 5) at medium minimum at minimum 30 FPS, btw the PC I was going to buy is not for sale for me anymore so I have to stick with my one.
