I’m just curious cause I’ve seen that these aren’t out of box ready and I really don’t want to have to deal with a bios update tomorrow. If anyone knows if bios updates are fairly simple and not take up much time, please feel free to share

That motherboard supports that CPU as of BIOS 2613, the which came out in April of last year. If your board has been sitting on a shelf since before then, you will likely have to update the BIOS first.

What about the (ASUS B850-PLUS TUF Gaming Wifi AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard) would that be a better choice? I know bios shouldn’t take up to much time, but this is my first build and I really don’t wanna have to learn and deal with it at this time.

That motherboard will support that CPU out of the box.

It says it supports the 9700X on all BIOS versions. If there's a problem, it's not because of the BIOS.
