I'm going to get that mobo and an 6300. But I've noticed something on the mobo's website(http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#sp). "(Note 2) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connector by adapter.". Since I have a 1280x1024 that only has a VGA port, and I'm getting an RX 460 which has a DVI-D port, I will have to use an adapter. Will I be able to?

You can't use a passive adapter (which is what Gigabyte is referring to), but an "active" one should work as it converts the "digital only" signal from the DVI-D port to an analog signal which a VGA D-Sub input supports.
