BIOS - Basic Input Output System

Basically the software that runs your motherboard.  If you dont update it it might not recognise some cpu's.

Its easy to update - plenty of youtube tutorials on it

It should do as long as it is a F8 revision.

You can't overclock with a i5-4460 - well you can (200mhz) so buying a Z87/97 chipset is a waste of money.

If this is your plan then buy a H97 motherboard if you don't plan on overclocking.

Otherwise you'll need a i5-4670k / i5-4690k preferably with a Z97mobtherboard.
