All the info you need is in the product page here https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-78LMT-USB3-rev-41#ov including a list of supported CPUs in the Support section.

Yes, that motherboard supports FX 43xx and 63xx at stocks frequencies just fine. Just don't overclock, since it only has 4+1 power phases.

Phases are structures on your motherboard that supply the overall power to your CPU through VRM's and MOSFET's.
Here's a link with an explanation.

but i am using a stock psu that came with the casing ..
Thanks in advance

CPU Support List

This is the list of processors that is compatible with your motherboard (rev 6.0). You will note the FX 6300 is listed. Therefore, it is supported. However, since you didn't give us any specs on the power supply or the model number of the case that it came with, it's impossible to say whether or not adding the FX6300 (which requires up to 30 watts more power) will cause any issues.

My Stock power supply spec - Golden Field ( GF450 ) 450W ......
It's nearly 10 dollar

Never heard of them and unfortunately, I wouldn't trust it with your current system.

In theory, it should work just fine. A quality 450 watt power supply would handle the processor upgrade easily. Your power supply will probably be ok, but if you start running into system crashes, that would be the first thing I would check.

Looking at the prices I'm finding here does not instill me with a lot of confidence. Even the Thermaltake power supplies are of a lower quality than we would consider.
