So I'm currently building my first PC and am leaning towards the following mobo. I'm using an AMD FX processor, and noticed that in the "Supported CPU" section of the specs it listen "AMD FXTM" instead of AMD FX. I'm relatively certain that the TM just stands for trade mark and was an error, but I want to make sure they would be compatible.

It will work, just not the best. MSI isnt known for the best boards, and though the 970 chipset supports FX processors they dont support very high clock speeds. A 990 chipset is preferable.

Yes, that is a brand new motherboard for the FX lineup , it can run dual cards and has a 6+2 power design.

The FX6300 is 100% compatible right out of the box , nice choice.

Yup,it would work,that's a good mobo but the gigabyte 970A-UD3 is better with a 8+2 power phase design but it's not good for doing SLI/Xfire bu the MSI one is. So,do you plan to use multiple cards in future?
The processor is perfectly compatible with the mobo.
