Hello! Your setup involves 13700K and a Z690 Strix F board, which is a solid choice. Flashing the BIOS should be straightforward, but double-check compatibility with your motherboard model. After flashing, ensure all connections are secure and perform a system check to confirm everything functions properly. No major issues expected if done correctly.
RAM compatibility won't be nearly as strong as on the Z790 boards. Unless you're aiming for speeds above 6400MT/s, it's probably not a big deal. If you're getting a solid price on both components, go ahead. However, I'd hold off until after the Ryzen 9000 series release next week, as prices are expected to shift significantly then.
My MOBO is a Z690 paired with a 13600k, which I had to bring to the PC shop for a BIOS flash. They completed the work, and I've been using it since last September. Everything is working smoothly. You should be all right.
