I am making this build on pcpartpicker and from what I've heard it runs pretty well and is cost effective, however when I put in the cpu (AMD FX-6300) with the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P) PCpartpicker says "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs"
Please help, this my first build fyi.

That is over a year old warning since all boards shipped from manufacturer after Vishera release ship with compatible BIOS, it would be a very old stock if you got one.
Your specific board actually was introduced after the Vishera release and has a original BIOS that supports the FX6300. http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-p...
