You only update BIOS if: You have a hardware compatibility problem (example, needing to get a B450 board to accept a Ryzen 3000 processor) There's a feature a newer version offers that you'll actually want There's a security issue with the current version that's fixed in a later one Otherwise it doesn't matter when you do it. But don't update BIOS just because.

For a x 470 motherboard, you must update the BIOS first before anything else, since it won’t power on. If you’re in the US, there’s a program that provides CPUs for free; otherwise, you can ask the store to handle it for you (this is what I plan to do).
