Please help with compatibility issues!

There are really only two things I am not sure about. I am on PC Part Picker and put in the mobo and CPU and a compatibility warning came up. 

The CPU I chose is AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core and the MOBO I chose is Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

 

It read, "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."

 

I have no idea what this means. Please help!

It's fine, the Mobo should be updated when you get it if not and you have a old PC or something you can get the BiOS update there just look up how

No problem

If this is for gaming I would suggest going for an Intel Pentium G4560 based system instead.This will also give you an upgrade path in the future. The AM3+ platform is dead in the water.
