Sometimes the mb do not have the latest BIOS because of how long they have sat on the shelf. It is saying it needs current BIOS to run that chip. If you don't have the current BIOS you need an older chip to update it before you can use the newer chip.

It says

"Potential Issues/Incompatibilities

Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs."

Some manufacturers sell Motherboards with old bios.... I just looked at the reviews on newegg and nobody complained about it not working with the FX-6300 and people said they was using that CPU so it will probably be just fine.

OK, So Should I Go for a different mb? Any Suggestions?

No based on what mikes says it is probably ok. Get it from a supplier like Newegg who does a lot of transactions then you are less likely to get one that has been sitting on the shelf.
