I'm looking for feedback on this PC build I found on PCPartPicker: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/c67BVF. Also, I'm curious about how to update the BIOS if I don't have the CPU installed yet. Any insights?

You can definitely update the BIOS using the motherboard's Q-Flash Plus feature without needing to install the CPU, RAM, or GPU. Just check the manual for specific instructions or look up a tutorial for your Gigabyte motherboard on YouTube! Keep an eye out for any BIOS updates needed, especially for compatibility with new Ryzen chips.
Honestly, this build looks solid! It seems surprising to call it entry-level, considering how powerful it is, but it should handle gaming pretty well. Most new motherboards these days will come with an up-to-date BIOS, so you likely won't need to worry about that unless it's really old stock.
Right? It's crazy how the definition of entry-level has shifted!
