[shortie19]

you wont have to update the bios anyway, new bios'es are only released to fix a few small issues here and there, its completely different to updating software and drivers.

if you did update the bios, the ocuk overclock settings will be lost.

buy everything separate and overclock yourself.

then you cant have a good 500w psu, but even 430w will power a GTX460/6870
