I’m preparing to assemble a PC using a Ryzen 5 5600G. Since my motherboard needs a BIOS update for this processor, I’ll likely have to flash the new BIOS before installing any parts. Many guides suggest doing this before putting in the CPU and RAM, or even before mounting the motherboard into the case. My thought is to build everything together and then use the flash BIOS button to update the board once all components are connected. Would this approach be feasible? Could it be simpler or more effective than updating just the motherboard and power supply?

It might function occasionally, but sometimes the presence of a CPU in the socket affects performance, though results vary. It isn't fully consistent, and handling these differences can be frustrating for each individual board.

This could imply a more efficient approach by avoiding the CPU's involvement.
