Gigabyte ga- 78lmt-s2p

Hi guys I'm in the process of building a computer and I found a deal online. It is a AMD 6300 black edition with a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Socket AM3+ 760G mATX AMD Motherboard the bundle is $119 dollars. So essentially you buy the processor and the motherboard is free. This could be the money saver that would allow me to add a SSD drive to my new computer but I still would like to hear from some veterans the pro's and cons this motherboard.

Thanks
Jay

It's decent but it's not a good board if you want to overclock the cpu, and only the latest board revision(5.x) supports the FX-6300, and you can't add any higher end piledriver cpu.
