Yup :) it should be obvious right away if it is updated - it should have a "suports ryzen 3rg gen" sticker on the box. good luck!

Ive heard a lot about having to flash a new BIOS with some of the newer AMD CPUs and this is the first time i am installing a new CPU and Motherboard. I am curious if/ what issues i may come against when doing my first boot on this new Motherboard and CPU.

If everything is working like it should you shouldn't have any issues. But like you said the only problem would be, if the bios is not flashed to the version that supports ryzen 3xxx CPUs. If the board has a usb flashback function you can flash it without a CPU.

GPU drivers giving you a hard time? Try this! (DDU)

So just download the most recent BIOS from MSI for my board and plug it in one of the usb ports and flash it to the board should be all i need to do? just making sure.

IF the board has the FLASHBACK function yes It doesn't i checked. otherwise you'll need an older CPU or take it to a local shop and ask them if they can do it for you OR maybe the place you are buying it from offers that service before you buy.
