Your CPU will still probably work on that motherboard since your CPU is in its compatibility list. Provided that if you don't upgrade your BIOS firmware to the latest version you wont be able to get your CPU's maximum performance and capabilities.

Hi,

Practically, why are you bothered about the BIOS update since you haven't still bought that board? Secondly, why would you like to buy that motherboard while it's bios firmware doesn't still support your CPU? Just a thought.

If you want something that will work out of the box just get http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3858039&SRCCODE=WEBGOOKWL&cm_mmc_o=mH4CjC7BBTkwCjCs81CjCE&gclid=CPbI3pmR5b0CFeMF7AodBmMA4g

or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=COjysLaR5b0CFVFp7Aod2B4AqA&Item=N82E16813128627&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-AMD+Motherboards-_-N82E16813128627&ef_id=UwWJvwAAAMRUX8eQ:20140416134235:s

That 760g chipset is terrible for an fx6300
