hi micky. i know that. basically to update ME u need to install other parts and get ME, and than take all parts and update bios. it is also advised to update bios without cpu, ram, gpu.

will i have any trouble if i first update bios, and later when install cpu, ram, gpu get ME?

Ask Asus what they recommend, as far as I know, you can do this without updating the ME, or there are BIOS files that will do it at the same time.
