Help with build

[Techno21t]

So i'm looking for parts for a build and i'm having issues picking out a motherboard for Ryzen 3 3200g i'm trying to find one in my price range form 90-120$ Canadian but i'm having issues finding one that doesn't need bios update cause i heard you would need a CPU that works with the bios already in it to update it. I've also seen online the b450 models but I've found different pages that say it works with the ryzen 3200g and some pages that say you need to bios update it. could anyone tell me a motherboard that could work with the CPU without bios update plz post a link to where i can buy or could explain the b450 model bios update issue to me?

Most B450 boards now ship with the BIOS version required for 3rd gen ryzen. If you are unsure and it is not listed on the sellers website, contact them and ask. It more than likely is, and if not they will probably be willing to update it for you

Most B450 motherboards come with the new BIOS reinstalled, check on the manufacturer's website to see.

B450 came out with 2nd gen ryzen CPUs so the motherboards only had software to support 2nd gen CPUs. When 3rd gen launched new software is needed for it to work with the motherboard, most newly manufactured boards come with it preinstalled though.

thank you so much. also would it still work if i got a ryzen 5 3400g or does that need a bios update?

Ive heard conflicting information on this so im not entirely sure. However, as I said if it supports 3rd gen ryzen, which most will at this point, then it will definitely support the 3400G
