Is this compatible?

According to pcpartpicker.com "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs." whatever that means... Here is my incomplete build http://pcpartpicker.com/list/rc6WGf Can you just tell me what i need to do to fix it. Thanks!

For one dont get an fx 6300, and i3 would do better. And i would wait on getting that gpu since the rx 480 is coming out soon.

Can you give me a reason not to get the 6300 and how soon dose the rx 480 come out? Ill gladly wait if it can knock the price down some.

an i5 would be better but more expensive too. a cheaper athlon would perform the same in games but worse in multithreaded tasks.

reason to not get fx6300 it it's poor performance by todays standards

RX480 is scheduled for general availability on June 29th

the fx 6300 stock cooler is really loud, and has poor performance, a skylake i3 would perform a lot better. The rx 480 comes out around the end of this month.

Id like to keep it amd any recommendations for a amd cpu that is better than that lard?

[Goldensapling]

The 6300 has terrible gaming performance. (Single-core)

Don't buy Gigabyte AMD cards, they have shit cooling. For AMD cards buy Sapphire, MSI, or XFX.

I can also agree with this, my gigabyte windforce r9 290 gets really hot.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/vhqFf8 this is a pretty decent entry level machine, i put an r9 380x in there just for the price but you can swap that out with an rx 480 when that comes out at the end of the month (about the same price).

You will also be able to upgrade to a skylake i5 and a better GPU later on if you decide.
