FX-6300 motherboard advice-need help?!

[jasher11]

so i am getting an AMD fx 6300 processor some time soon, and i need a motherboard.

I live in the UK so i need to be able to buy it off amazon or what have you.

I have heard that a BIOS update is needed to run this CPU on most motherboards and i really dont want to have to do this.

So could someone suggest a motherboard that will support AMD fx6300 with no BIOS update and cost less than £50

I was originally looking at the:

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+

but i dont know if i need a bios update, if you cant suggest a motherboard please tell me if this one needs an update or give a good tutorial

thanks in advance

That motherboard you mentioned will require a BIOS update for the FX-6300. The following motherboard will not. The GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3.

You can look at the CPU support list. And it says ""FX-6300".

Here it is on amazon.com like you asked.

There you go.

thanks for the reply, i was hoping it wouldnt be that expensive as my budget is only £420/$650 (for the whole system)

so is that the only one that supports the newest fx processors without a bios update. If so do you know if it is easy/difficult to update the bios, as i am a complete beginner when it comes to custom pc's
