Want to get the new kabylake pentium but cannot update bios? - kekekekeeee - Feb 2, 2017
The new kabylake cpus require to update your motherboard. This would be my first gaming build so I don't have a PC to update the bios now, so is there a way I can buy a motherboard with the correct bios installed on the cheap? I'm on an ultra $400 budget so I'm looking in the $50 motherboard range.

This is the absolute closest I could get to $400 with a relatively okay GPU and a Kaby Lake Pentium.

Thanks. That motherboard fits into the budget just well. A bit strange the CPU is only $62 on amazon.
