PowerSpec G757

I got the G757 Powerspec from Microcenter less then a week ago. Right away im noticing some lagging and stalling when going into system settings and trying to get a tab to drop down. Also having issue with the live wallpaper I have not displaying or it does but the normal one will change it and out here and there and my WiFi 6 wont even see the 6ghz band from my ISP router when other devices pick it right up as well as wifi speeds are I believe being limited. It shows the bios for the Gigabyte B850 gaming wifi6 as f7 g12 which is custom to the powerspecs but even in the Gigabyte control center it says it should be at f9 and there's even a f10 out. I have a 9800x3d chip which without the latest bios can cause the gpu to burn out. Looking for help getting the correct powerspec firmware update for this as Gigabyte said I had to get it from microcenter and the one I got my pc from which is the closest is 2 hours and 45 minutes away. Any help would be appreciated. If not I either gonna return the whole thing and get a pc somewhere else or replace the mobo to something way better and just go with the bios from that mobo.

    Not sure if you have this figured out yet, but I brought the same PC about a week ago. I've noticed there's pretty much 2 options to get the most current bios. Either do the Q Flash method with the PC off to flash it back to the actual Gigabyte bios or swap out the motherboard entirely. Since I don't really care for the case and already plan to swap that and the psu out I just said screw it and I'm buying a better mobo as well. At the end of the day I brought this prebuilt for the cpu, gpu, ram and ssd. Those things alone outweigh the cost of building completely this time around. Though one could argue I'm technically about to do that anyway lol. Anyway, the other option for a comparable build would've been the Alienware that was at MicroCenter as well but that would be even more of a nightmare if you tried to do some hardware upgrades down the line. I'm not sure if the wifi speeds are being limited by the custom bios or if its an issue with this particular mobo but I'm thinking its the former as I can't find any info in forums about the board having subpar wifi normally.
