Only thing I would change is to get the 3700X (65w) rather than the 2700X.(105w). Other than that... looks good.
Don't worry about the warning about BIOS update, because that motherboard you picked can do this...
Flash BIOS Button: Simply use a USB key to flash any BIOS within seconds, without installing a CPU, memory or graphics card
