Yes it is. Actually this will be a great board for the 6300. I have an 8350 with a similar board and have had no issues. I think you'll be pleased at the performance of the 6300 for the price. Also if you would like. Look into overclocking it. Usually isn't to hard. Just google a tutorial if you don't already know how to.

Just in case. Here is a nice CPU cooler to keep the temps low.

I did,sorry Im new here.Can you tell me how to update my bios?
 


you don't need to worry about that. the 990fxa will work with the chip out of the box. (speaking from experience here)
 
Your board like many other new boards will have a software program which will walk you thru how to update the bios also youtube and google searches can explain further I dont own this board but its not hard to update the bios alot of times its just a few click and your done after you follow directions.
And you board can accept just about any gpu card out on the market.

Depending on what revision of the board you have it will work out of the box.. I have that same motherboard its revision 1.1 I bought the 6300 just a couple days ago and had a LOT of issues starting off.. mostly due to needing a bios update.. but at the moment it is running fine.. just make sure to check what revision of the motherboard you have (its posted on the bottom left hand corner of the board itself) and then use a program like CPUID or Everest ultimate to check which BIOS version you have.. and go to the gigabyte website and find your revision of the board you have.. and then find the right BIOS version.. I was able to flash my bios after watching a youtube video on flashing gigabyte motherboards.. it is so easy a caveman could do it
