Everything in the configurator is compatible and will be updated before shipment.

What's the PC for?

What's your max budget?

What monitor are you pairing it with? What resolution and refresh rate or make and model if you're unsure?

The PC is for mainly gaming and the budget is around 1000pounds. I did not check monitors yet. Really just wanted to check if it will come with an already updated BIOS as there are so many people tells that there might be a BIOS Update issue

That was only when the boards were first released. And PCS configure everything so it’s ready for you on delivery.

You’ve selected a 1440p GPU, but depending on your budget for the monitor, you may not need it?

I might need it for later with a new monitor which I don't know anything about yet but will see! :) Thank you for your answer!

Just so you know it’s a 1440p GPU suited for 144hz, a monitor of that quality will be about £350

if you’re getting a 1080p 144Hz monitor then you don’t need that GPU, a 1660 Super will be more than enough.
