will a amd fx6300 black edition work in a m2n68-la motherboard???
just order new psu gpu and cpu but will the cpu work in my mobo?
my new GPU is a sapphire dual x R9 270x and my new psu is a Evga 500B bronze 500W which works fine with gpu but will it work with my new CPU?
they came in a bundle so im hoping they work together! but the MOBO is my main concern

No, an FX6300 is not compatible with that board.

No the FX-6300 will not work in that motherboard as it doesn't seem to support the new FX series:

Now I know that AM3 tends to be backwards compatible etc. But not sure if AM3 will supports AM3+, some motherboards require a BIOS update to be able to accomodate newer CPUs and some just plain don't.

You will probably need to upgrade your motherboard for the new CPU.

Which Narra ?
.M2N68-LA (Narra6)
or
M2N68-LA (Narra)[


One has DDR2, the other has DDR3, regardless of the board, neither supports any of the FX CPUs.

Do you have a certain budget for the motherboard? If not, a good value board would be the GA-990FX-UD3. Has a bunch of features including overclocking, DDR3 RAM, Crossfire/SLI :
