best are usually cost inefficient, i wouldn't reach for the stars if I were you man, FX-6300 aint need top motherboards, 100$ one is enough.

gigabyte motherboards are reliable,(ask em for yourself),if gigabyte excels at anything at all,thats motherboards. yea all those boards are compatible, btw you linked the mtoherboard which I am using.great motherboard since oyu ain't plan to overclock ,but if you would sometime consider to,there's no turning back,better be safe with UD3P, M5A97 LE is designed for stock clocks, M5A97 (without LE) allows some overclocking.
