Flashing the BIOS on a B450 Pro

So for my first time PC build, I'm building the $500 budget gaming PC from one of Linus's recent videos. (https://youtu.be/3dEfc9LL9bQ) 

 

I'm looking over the parts list in Parts Builder, and I noticed the one conflict is something that Linus mentioned in the video: "Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions." 

 

If I'm using a Ryzen 3 3100, what specifically will I need to get in order to make this work?

Most b450 boards ship with the new bios. 

If it says "ryzen 3000 ready" on the box. Them it is. 

MSI's MAX boards do support the AGESA code for zen 2 out of the box. 

If they didn't ship with the new bios. Then just ask the vendor/ computer store to update it for you. 

But what board are you getting exactly?

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad. 

 

Audio: Logitech G432, Moondrop Starfield, Mic: Razer Siren Mini (White).

 

Phone: Pixel 3a (Purple-ish).

As I said. It'll most likely support the AGESA code. If it didn't just ask a computer store to update it for you.
