It's mostly just that I'm afraid I'll order a board that isn't on the latest bios, which will be a headache.

And an excuse to postpone.

Some MSI motherboards (and maybe others?) have a "Flashback" feature to flash BIOS from a USB storage device without needing a CPU.

I was completely unaware of this feature, and blissfully saved by it when building a computer for a family member. It's a killer feature.
