Help! Will this CPU fit this mobo? (Phenom X3 720)

[omglol]

I am going to be ordering the phenom x3 720, and i am now settled on this board, but I want to know how I update the bios so it can support AM3... don't i need to put the cpu in first so it can boot up (but it wont work because it doesn't support AM3 without the bios?)
thanks
here is the board:
