GPU Bios Update.

Hello, i recently watched a video on YouTube and there was a guy who updated his GPU's BIOS to get more OverClock support, and that's what i also want to do, to Overclock my GPU and to run some Benchmarks .
I'm worried to do it because there are risks of breaking it and i'd be messed up . Anyways, the GPU i want to update is MSI R7 250 2GB DDR3 OC 
Bios Version - 015.049.000.009.000000

I also saved the original BIOS file of this GPU, and i don't know which one of these versions will match up best for my GPU and won't crack it..

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=Uploads&manufacturer=MSI&model=R7+250&version=&interface=PCI-E&memType=GDDR3&memSize=2048&since=

is there any way to update this GPU without breaking it? And let's just say i already did it and broked it, how am i supposed to reinstall it's original BIOS version if the monitor wouldn't post ? I also don't have any integrated graphics so i think if anything goes wrong i'm really f#cked up..

I had a troublesome HD 7770 1GB from MSI (pretty much an R7 250X) which I flashed a few times (with MSI original bioses, newer versions).

One of the flashes misfired and I managed to revive the card after flashing it by using a motherboard that has two full size pci-e ports and a second graphics card.

My mobo also has 2 PCI-E x16 3.0 Slots but if i'm going to do this i really need to know the right way of doing it..

If you do break it, you're likely better off looking for an upgrade as that GPU is low-end and older.  Perhaps a nice used RX 480 8GB on eBay for under $100 is the ticket to really getting more performance from a GPU.

Also if you have on-board video available you could try to use that to rescue a GPU that doesn't output, but you still run risks by monkeying with your GPU Bios if you're not sure what you're doing.

Dude, the PC i'm talking about i want to give it as a gift to my brother and i want to make sure that he can play some games and do some projects on it. To be more exact it's specs are 
Intel G4600 
ASUS PRIME Z270M-PLUS
8 GB DDR4 
the gpu mentioned earlier
ADATA SU650 120GB SSD 
1TB WD HDD
500W Corsair psu. 
and i want to get the best out of that GPU since, in my opinion is bottlenecking the CPU... anyways if there's no way, i'll just buy a RX480 as you mentioned, sell the r7 and that was the deal tho.. but i'm kinda low on money since i'm actually trying to buy an 8700k .. Again, isn't there any way to update this GPU without damaging it?

The GPU isn't bottlenecking the CPU (lol), the CPU can feed it alright but it's a weak GPU.

For a system like that, I'd recommend a GTX 1050 or an Radeon RX 560.
