You can flash a new bios onto it from within the bios. Only catch is that you need a cpu in the mobo to actually access the bios. I would suggest either buying the cheapest cpu for that socket, borrowing one from a friend or visiting a computer shop and asking them to do it for you.

Morbi vehicula neque eu mattis bibendum. Curabitur sed odio tortor. Sed euismod mi in diam volutpat, vitae convallis ipsum mattis. Praesent eleifend faucibus pulvinar.

If the bios needs flashed to work with the cpu you are getting, you wont be able to do it. because you need a working to flash the bios. I would suggest to just get a Z97, less of a hassle 

Case: NZXT Phantom PSU: EVGA G2 650w Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro (Wifi-AC) CPU: 4690K @4.2ghz/1.2V Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866mhz GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX970 Storage: (2x) WD Caviar Blue 1TB, Crucial MX100 256GB SSD, Samsung 840 SSD Wifi: TP Link WDN4800

You do not need a CPU or RAM in the motherboard necessarily to flash the BIOS. Put the CAP file onto the flash drive(root file system), plug it into the appropriate USB port(labeled), shut down the system, and hold down the Flashback button at the I/O ports.
