i looked up at pcpartpicker and said i needed to update the bios of the mobo so i could use the cpu, my question is: ¿i could update the bios without the processor o barely use it to update it?

btw if u think i could change some components for better one or just because its horrible... just let me know

Stronger than the build you posted.

This motherboard needs a bios update.

You could pair it with a 4130 which is the same as the 4160 but with 200 mhz less and saves you the hastle of BIOS updating.

Since the motherboard doesn't support USB BIOS Flashback, if it doesn't come with a compatible BIOS no you can't use the motherboard without updating, and you can't update without a compatible processor.

@MikusArah follow your topics as well

Ew, XFX. Would be a much better idea to get a 280 non-X and get a better PSU. An i5+280X build with a 500-W1 is unbalanced.

It says that some may need a bios update. I don't even really understand how that works.

@MikusArah

This is a far better build than you originally posted. Better cpu, equivalent GPU with a little more longevity thanks to it's 3gb of vram, and the like.

Still, it's a 280x and i agree he could use a better PSU but it will work.

i3 and i5 are better then 860K, and what do you need Win7 Ultimate for?

 

This is much better http://pcpartpicker.com/p/X3FDyc

Some retailers BIOS update the motherboards that need it by themselves and ship it updated, otherwise if it's a factory shipped mobo it would need the updating.

And if it isn't updated then you will need a compatible cpu to update it and then you can use any cpu. (With the same chipset.)

WHats wrong with the psu again?

[SkywardKkalox]

And if it isn't updated then you will need a compatible cpu to update it and then you can use any cpu. (With the same chipset.)

Compatible CPU, in that case a haswell CPU seeing as the 4160 is  a Haswell Refresh one.

For example 4130 = Haswell, 4150,4160=Haswell Refresh.  4440 = Haswell, 4460 = Haswell Refresh.

Low build quality, there are better PSUs for this price range.
