Hey guys. I'll start this topic off by saying i have 0 knowledge about any components whatsoever, so Im just here to ask you for an advice and some explanation as to why such error occurs.
Mainly, in my other posts I asked people about picking the best gaming set out of 3. They picked one of them, which looks has AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and ASRock AB350 Pro4.

Now when I go to PCPartPicker and I put this set together, it shows me an error:

Some AMD B350 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Pinnacle Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions

 

Is this something I should be worried about or ignore it?
If It's an issue, which other MOBO would you suggest with a similar price?

it's a thing where you shouldn't worry too much yet if it happens then oh well, like the A9 TSMC vs Samsung thing 

 

it's like using Z170 instead of Z270 for a 7700k, since the older bios was made before the newer CPU, the older bios wouldn't support that CPU since it's newer, and so it won't post. You'd need a bios update for it to be supported and to post. 

 

Same thing happens with AMD. I think AMD will send you a starter CPU to boot it up and to update the bios, there was news about that earlier the year.

found it. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

So if I wanted to change my mobo for a different one, that has similar features which one should I pick?(similar price, gaming)
