I was thinking of upgrading my cpu and gpu from a 1660 and a 5 2600x to a 7 3700x and a 2060 Super. However on pcpartpicker it says i might need a bios update. I have updated my bios once for a ram issue. Will it work with the cpu now? Also will my 550 watt Psu be able to handle the upgrade?

I am in Bios version F50a

I went to gigabytes website and found this.

So I am sure my bios is updated enough.

The last box to the right is the bios version it needs.
