Just wondering if I need my BIOS updated since I'm not familiar with updating one and I don't want to destroy my motherboard with power outages, etc.
What do you think?

I update bios at least twice a year in general. If you get a new component you should also do it. It’s nerve wracking, but not doing it can cause problems as well.
Make sure you have a stable power supply, as much as possible. No storms, rain, snow, wind etc. Except for a freak accident, you should be ok if you follow your manufacturer’s recommendations

Do you know which version you're buying? It should have something like (rev 1.X) in there.
As far as I can see, 1.3 comes with the FB bios update and your CPU is supported by the according to this.

You definitely need to upgrade your bios. New CPU won't work without it.

Yes. It will not work otherwise.
