    Should I update my BIOS from A10 before upgrading my 660M to the 680M?

    It won't matter if you don't but won't hurt either.

    A11 is now the latest bios update available :)

    I always recommend not to update it unless you are having and issue, normally BIOS updates are released in response to issues reported. Therefore, if it is not broken then don't fix it :p
