Buying CPU + Mobo online

[bi-rain]

I want to buy MSI B450i Gaming + AMD Ryzen 3600 on online platforms like Lazada, Shopee to enjoy discounts. But the product listing does not have feature like ryzen 3rd gen ready. first time buying this online, do I need that since I do not have any existing PC to flash the bios?

Sorry this mobo doesn't have bios update without cpu

need to wait for the MSI B450i Gaming MAX? is there a MAX?

EDIT: I see you edited there. I am stuck at this CPU+Mobo unavailable otherwise I will be buying everything online already. anyone facing this as well?

If you don't have access to an older, supported AMD CPU for your motherboard and also don't have a motherboard with the Flash BIOS button, you’ll have to contact AMD for a boot kit. More details here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-100#faq-Short-Term-Processor-Loan-Boot-Kit

Once your BIOS updates, you can go ahead and replace your older processor with a new 3rd Gen Ryzen processor.

Any one tried this in SG? Sounds like it'll take forever
