Right now i am looking at the Mobo: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P FX with the AMD 990FX Chipset, AM3+ Socket

This is my first time building a PC and honestly i have no idea what to look for..
i dont know how to see if the mobo can handle the GPU and if it has the right chip set for the FX 8350 Processor.

I am on a budget thats why i am buying the FX8350, i already own the GTX1060, i just need to know what to look for in a motherboard.

Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P, it may require a bios update....get this motherboard and respond back to me if it does and i will help you.
Also make sure to get it from amazon or newegg

What about a Gigabyte Motherboard 970A-DS3P Rev. 2.0, would that be a decent motherboard?
Other comments: I need it to come with a decent BIOS so i do not have to update it before using my amd fx 8350.

No, the 970s don't handle the 8350 well due to voltage issues. If you don't already have an FX-8350, go for a Ryzen 3 1200.
