Okay, my buddy just somehow killed his tried & true "prebuilt hp" motherboard whilst installing a new graphics card. I need to know for sure that this motherboard, and this CPU work together out of the box, or if I will need to do a bios update. He's got $100 to spend, and our local Microcenter is offering it for $90 total. It's a bit of an emergency build, he's broke, has ram on the way, and just bought a new GPU that still works.

 

Pentium G3258

 

Here's the board. Gigabyte GA-H81M-HDM: http://www.microcenter.com/product/458662/GA-H81M-HD2_LGA_1150_mATX_Intel_Motherboard

Not 100% sure but it should work fine without a BIOS update.
