Microcenter Build Question

in Help Choosing Parts
So recently I bought the 3070FE and a 5900x from best buy.  This was an easy solution for because I cant make my way out to Microcenter during the week to see if they have stock of CPUs and GPUs.  I want to buy the rest of the parts from microcenter and have them build the machine for me.  Would they be able to do that regardless of where i bought the cpu and gpu?  

Thank you!

    Greetings. The parts do not have to be purchased from us for the build, but we cannot offer warranty on items not purchased from us.  We do offer a build service in-store starting at $149.99.

    Thanks Ian.  I have one more question that may be a bit more specific.  I am coming from an Intel system so i dont have an AMD Ryzen cpu at all.  I heard the 570 motherboards need a bios update to work with the newer cpus.  Will microcenter be able to update the bios for me to allow the cpu to work in whatever motherboard I buy?  

    Thank you

    Hello @falconx,
    Yes we are able to do BIOS updates in store, to get your motherboard working with your CPU as long as they are compatible. I will include a link for you to our BIOS update service where you can also schedule an appointment! https://www.microcenter.com/product/607204/-bios-update-service
