I dont think you get what I mean, but anyway

 

I prefer this one

What did you mean?

 

will that motherboard need the bios update?

 

Pairing that with a GTX 1070 I would be able to run the games i want at high or ultra

I'm saying that the page you were on (and put link to) doesnt show all 8700k options.

Maybe, but this mobo doesnt need a supported CPU for that, only a USB memory stick with the BIOS file. Follow Asus bios flashback guide on the motherboard's users manaul.

Maybe not ultra. 1070 isnt strong enough.

... I am having trouble deciding between CPU's because AMD's chipset will be supported until 2020 and if i want to go upgrade then I will not have to switch motherboards....

 

 

Not a terribly good reason to prefer one platform over the other. AMD has already shown with the X470 that despite cpu being able to use older motherboards, if one wants to fully exploit a new cpu a new motherboard is required.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I'm looking at a $440 8770k + Asrock K6 bundle at first

I'm just hesistant on the 'future upgrade' part. While I'm inclined to believe that 9th gen will use the same boards as 8th gen, I cant guarantee that.

no it doesnt, you have to use your own memory stick. The new BIOS can be downloaded from the motherboard's official product page.
