You should connect the CPU first, then use Gigabyte’s Q-Flash tool to update the BIOS. Avoid installing it without the processor attached, as that could cause issues.

Don't expect any changes. I'd assemble it ahead of time, just in case you end up having to piece everything together hastily to get it working (this is your initial project).

To answer that, no a bios update is not necessary to install for the 7800X3D unless there is an issue occurring with it (eg. Memory) and that wont solve the problem with the backdoor, to solve the problem with the backdoor you need to go to the bios and disable the option to install gigabyte's software...

It's a built-in function that can be turned off via a simple BIOS setting. The newest patch doesn't eliminate the capability—it alters the code to fetch files from a secure HTTPS domain instead of standard HTTP, and verifies encryption details. You only need to adjust the BIOS to disable this feature.
