you may have to put in the cpu, but you wont need to get a cpu that is out of the box compatible, like a with some boards. You also dont even need a gpu installed. Just a motherboard, psu, possibly cpu, and memory

you can. It may not work out of the box, but asus motherboards have bios flashback features that allow you to update the bios without a compatible cpu installed.

I could use some help with this!

FYI the CPU only needs to be present on ASUS' ITX boards.
