I am just finishing deciding on the key parts of a ryzen build & just waiting for Ryzen5 chips to enter the UK supply chain.

MSI and other motherboard manufacturers have released bios updates pertaining to RAM timings and OPcode issues BUT also "Ryzen5 support"
Does this put new builds in a chicken and the egg situation?

Will I be able to build up the hardware side of things and boot to update the BIOS (via just usb?) Before starting an OS install (Gentoo Linux in this case)
 
Thanks, my mobo is a 1st generation i-series so it still needed a windows-only application to boot.

My mobo, ryzen, ram are due on friday and I was /really/ hoping things had come on since then. From what you have stated & a few others I will be fine. 1st port of call will be a bios update then a gentoo install
