The 6300 is a definite no as anything that runs an A4 has a different socket than the 6300 uses. Not sure what you're referring to with X880 as there's no such CPU that I'm aware of, but if you're asking about the Athlon 880K, we would need more information about your motherboard. Run a program like Speccy to get the exact motherboard.

My motherboard is MSI A68HM-E33 V2 FM2+ Socket, AMD A68H Chipset, 4 SATA 3, 4 USB 2.0/1.1 so i was woundering every processor with a Fm2+ chip set can work in my motherboard? so im pretty sure a 880K Athlon will work. But im not sure because the processor i have is A Amd A4 6300 and it says Socket Type Fm2 so im not sure. This is my computer by the way https://www.cybertronpc.com/customkititems.asp?kc=gmelectrm46mka&group=play&cat=gamers&cc=amdgaming&view=customize

Every CPU working because it uses the same socket on a motherboard is frequently not the case. However, you're in luck here; the 880K is listed by MSI as being supported by this motherboard.

It ought to work fine and there's nothing better you can get on this platform (nor will there ever be).
